SAVE THE DATE! On Thursday, June 19th, beginning at noon, the Friends of the Parks Foundation will host a trail dedication and reception to recognize the first segment of the Morrison Rockwood Recreational Trail. The Foundation will celebrate this milestone with a public ribbon cutting at the trailhead intersection of Crosby and Norrish Roads. Soft drinks and light snacks will be provided. Immediately following the ribbon cutting and reception, the Rockford Park District will present its award-winning demonstration, Birds of Prey. This fascinating program features an American kestrel, great horned owl and a barred owl. These birds have all been rehabilitated from injuries and deemed unable to survive in the wild. Over 30,000 people have seen a Birds of Prey exhibition over the past 20 years, and it has been honored as “Outstanding” by Illinois Park and Recreation Association. Parking will be available at the Mt. Pleasant Township Garage and along Crosby Road. Dogs are welcome to attend, and treats will be available at the reception for all of our four-legged friends. The public is invited to walk, run, or bike the new trail and partake in any or all parts of the dedication. Mayor Everett Pannier will be on-hand to dedicate the trail, as well as Senator Mike Jacobs from the 36th District of the Illinois General Assembly.
