If you haven't heard, ERTA was awarded $1,000 to put toward the SMP Freeride project by the Shawnee Rotary Club. This couldn't have come at a better time and thus has sparked conversations within ERTA regarding more funding. Great thanks goes out to Neale Shour for providing the opportunity to connect with the Shawnee Rotary Club, and to the Shawnee Rotary Club for providing us with this opportunity to expand this project and boost it into overdrive!
I'd also like to thank Ken Miner and Patrick for meeting up with them to explain who ERTA is, what they do and to receive the check.
Things are looking up gents', so if you aren't coming out to the trail days, you better hop on board because the ball is rollin'!!
With this money, Patrick and I will be purchasing a generator and a jack hammer to aid in the post hole digging as well as a couple 1/2" drivers for the wooden features. This should speed up the progress by about 3x and hopefully we'll have a drop zone, wooden berm, creek jump, and some other features to ride come Summer.
