The ribbon cutting for the Westmoreland Heritage Trail was held on Saturday, June 21. The beginning of the trail is located off of the parking lot of the Slickville Fire Company, and on Saturday, that lot was full of people who came to be part of the kick off. The trail is a project of the Westmoreland County Bureau of Parks and Recreation and will eventually span 19 miles, but this first segment extends from Slickville to Saltsburg. Once again, the folks helping with the Westmoreland County parks projects proved that their work makes a positive impact on the quality of life in our county.

There were over 100 people in attendance who hit the trail immediately after the ribbon cutting with their bikes or walking shoes. It was a beautiful day!
