Are you ready to make a difference at Little Mountain Park? Help us repair the bridges along the La-Z-Boy trail before winter sets in.
Are you ready to make a difference at Little Mountain Park? The Mount Vernon Parks Foundation is looking for volunteers to help build a new trail that will connect the restrooms at the main parking lot to the central multi-use trail system.
As I write this blog post for the Mount Vernon Parks Foundation, my last as president of this fine organization, I feel the need to recap, reflect and look ahead.
Mount Vernon Parks Foundation is committed to shining a light on our parks, helping to enhance, maintain and grow an already impressive line-up of community parks. Now's your opportunity to support the parks you love by joining us for our 2019 Trail-A-Thon fundraiser. And if you're wondering why support MVPF, here’s just some of what we've accomplished in the past year with the donations and volunteer support our community entrusted to us…

This Saturday, April 27th, the Skagit Valley Food Co-op will be our featured group. As always our Little Mountain trail building session starts at 10:00 am. We'll have donated Starbucks Coffee, Haggen pastries and Co-op snacks and soft drinks. And Leslie Estep will again provide her amazing homemade soup for lunch. Thanks Leslie.
Our volunteer sign-up tent will be located at the crosswalk on the main park access road. We'll be doing some maintenance and making some improvements to La-Z-Boy.
We hope to see everyone on Saturday.

Friends, followers and trail builders, It is official, the Cairn Trail is done.
We're back to parking on the main park access road, between the crosswalk and the switchback. Since parking will be somewhat limited please carpool if possible. Our tent/awning and portable toilet will be setup adjacent to the map kiosk, there at the crosswalk. You'll see it.
The Bonnie & Clyde's project will probably take the rest of the year.
Last session we enjoyed Jenny's awesome spaghetti. This session Leslie Estep will be bringing out her incredible soup again. Thanks Leslie and Jenny! As always our session will start at 10:00 am with hot Starbucks Coffee and fresh Haggen pastries, all donated. Skagit Valley Food Coop is donating healthy snacks, fruit and drinks. A special thanks to all of our donors.
We hope to see you Saturday.
