It's official.  The Freeport Cemetery Association has donated to Winneshiek County a small slice of property that will allow the Freeport extension of Trout Run Trail to take a more direct path past the cemetery.

Winneshiek County supervisor Floyd Ashbacher and Freeport Cemetery Association Secretary/Treasurer Kevin Lee met Tuesday with four members of the Trails From Freeport group.

Trails from Freeport still must raise $55,000 in local contributions to meet the required local match for the grants it has been receiving.  The group will hold a car wash at Brite Spot #1 behind Kwik Star on October 6th.  On December 2nd Rubaiyat will host another wine and beer sampling, this time on the second floor of T-Bock's.
