Yough River Trail Race
[09/05/19] Thank you to all those folks who helped make the Poker Run a success this week. Also thank you to those members who rode in the event.
On Saturday, September 14th, WYTC is sponsoring a 'Sale on the Trail' from 8AM till 4PM.
It is a flea market event held in the parking lot in front of West Newton Bike Shop. We are looking for
vendors to set up to sell their arts, crafts, antiques etc. Also a super time to clean out your attics, cellars, closets and 'she sheds' or 'he sheds'. A great day to make some dollars for those packed away items clogging up your home.
Vendors are needed. You will be able to park your car parallel to the fence by the trail and set up your wares in front of the vehicle. Note: bring your own tables.
Cost is $20 to set up if a WYTC member. If not a member, cost is $35 which includes a discounted membership to WYTC.
West Newton is also having their yearly festival that day. Make a day of it.
If not selling, stop down and check out the sale items. You may find something you cannot live without!
Note: All proceeds go to trail maintenance.
