Projects now underway to
benefit the Zoar Valley Trail

    Construction has begun on a pedestrian bridge to carry the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail and the Zoar Valley Trail across Interstate 77 near Fort Laurens in Bolivar. The framework for the 800-foot-long bridge was completed in October. The project is being funded as part of a federal highway bill signed by President Bush in 2005. The federal bill includes $1 million for the bridge over the interstate.
    The Zoarville Station Bridge at Camp Tuscazoar is now undergoing restoration and reconstruction. Upon completion, the bridge will carry the Zoar Valley Trail, the Ohio-to-Erie Trail, Buckeye Trail and the interstate North Country Scenic Trail across Conotton Creek. The bridge will also give the youth using the camp access to the Ohio-Erie Canal Corridor and the towpath trail. Both projects are scheduled to be completed this spring.

Fall Pig Roast another success

    The 2006 Camp Tuscazoar Pig Roast is over and we think there are a lot of full stomachs out there to prove it. More than 400 guests enjoyed the feast prepared by Dick Matheny, Greg Bialota, Jason Corder, Bob Spencer, Dave Keppler and “crew”. We extend our thanks to each of them for their hard work. While $$ continues to trickle in, our gross profit was well over $6,000. This will certainly help with the upkeep of this wonderful place called Tuscazoar.
    The raffle for the Horse Intarsia picture was won by Rick Walters, who was absolutely thrilled and exclaimed, “I’ve never won anything” when the picture was delivered.
    Plans are in the works to bring back the “Pig Gig” campout and with a little help it just might happen. Watch the “Breeze” for details.
    Also, for next year, we are seeking a musical group to play on Saturday from 3 to 8 p.m. or so. We would prefer country music but we will consider anyone who may want to participate. Does someone you know have a band that is looking for an audience? Contact Nancy Schoenbaum at 330-493-1386 for further details.
