July Events
June 24 – July 3 - Into the Woods, a Tony Award-winning musical by Stephen Sondheim, interweaves the stories of our favorite storybook characters, but with a painfully poignant twist.

When Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood and friends get what they wish for, “Happily Ever After” isn’t exactly what they expected it to be – tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children and students with ID

September 5 - WESTMORELAND YOUGH TRAIL CHAPTER EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL LABOR DAY POKER RUN
Pre-registrations for this even must be received by August 15th, 2011 to
ensure receipt of free event T-Shirt
The Westmoreland Yough Trail Chapter of the Regional Trail Corporation will hold its Seventeenth Annual Poker Run on Labor Day. The walking/biking non-competitive event will start at the Arthur H. King Access Area of the Youghiogheny River Trail in West Newton. Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used by trail volunteers to maintain, preserve and enhance the Youghiogheny River Trail section of the Great Allegheny Passage.
The Poker Run consists of three events: 1). A walking, jogging, wheelchair optional, four mile flat course. 2). A level 12 mile bike ride that runs south along the Youghiogheny River to Smithton Beach and back. 3). An endurance 20 mile bike ride that runs south along the Youghiogheny River Trail to Whitsett and back. All cyclists are required to wear an ANSI or SNELL approved helmet.
The Poker Run is not a race. Participants walk or ride at their own pace taking as little time, or up to two hours, to finish their course. At checkpoints throughout the course participants will pick a playing card to develop a poker hand. At the end of the course each poker hand is tallied and the person with the best hand in each of the three events receives a cash prize award. Afterwards a raffle is conducted and all participants are eligible to win more than 75 door prizes of various kinds and values that have been donated by regional businesses and merchants who support the trail and what the trail brings to our area. A mountain bike is the grand prize give away. There will also be a half-the-take drawing.
