feature live and silent auctions, games, complimentary refreshments and no-host bar. 
Live music will be provided by Foothill Road & the Hitchikers.

CVTA thanks you for building for Bill

On October 22nd and 23rd, over 50 volunteers came out for the "Build for Bill" event to work on the Genoa Loop Trail, totaling 330 hours of trail work. Every hour of trail building was an hour of support for Bill Hay, CVTA president, who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer, which prevents him from doing the trail building he loves.
