What a great weekend for the Rock Island Trail!! We need all the donations to build the trail through Rosebud!! Jump in and help support the trail! Like to donate is in the post!🤍🚲
🌿🚲 What an incredible day for the Rock Island Trail! 🚲🌿
Saturday’s Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Ceremony celebrated the newest completed section of the Rock Island Trail — the Owensville to Soap Creek Bridge segment! 💚
The celebration took place at Lakeside Books in Owensville, and after the ceremony, visitors were able to hop on their bikes and experience the new trail firsthand with a ride out to Soap Creek Bridge.
It was exciting to see what this trail means for our area — new faces exploring, families with strollers, dogs out enjoying the day, bicycles hitting the trail, and people genuinely excited about the future of connecting our small towns. 🚲🌿
Now it’s Rosebud’s turn to keep the momentum going! 🌹
On top of celebrating this incredible milestone, several generous supporters donated toward the Rosebud section of the Rock Island Trail, bringing us one step closer to making our stretch a reality:
🌿 $300 in donations at Clancy’s Marketplace
👕 $160 in trail shirt purchases & orders
🚲 $5,000 donated at the ribbon cutting
That’s $5,460 raised in ONE DAY!
Even better? Donations are currently being MATCHED — turning yesterday’s support into:
🎉 $10,920 toward the Rosebud trail project! 🎉
With the $35,000 already raised, that brings the Rosebud Rock Island Trail fundraising total to:
💚 $45,920! 💚
The Rock Island Trail is more than a path. It’s an opportunity to connect our communities, bring visitors to our small towns, support local businesses, and create something that families will enjoy for generations.
The work isn’t finished — and we need your help to keep the trail moving toward Rosebud!
👕 Stop by Clancy’s Marketplace to purchase your Rock Island Trail shirt or make a donation.
