On Saturday, October 8, 2016, MTA held its annual meeting at The Quarry restaurant in Barre. A primary focus of this gathering was to celebrate and honor the amazing volunteers who have maintained our trails throughout the year. We had a great turnout and a great time; thanks to everyone who came out to join us. The results of the Trails Crew Awards and MTA’s election of officers are below.
