The Elk River Trail Foundation invites you to join us for our First Annual Holiday Dinner—an evening of celebration, gratitude, and holiday cheer as we reflect on our journey, honor the people who helped make it possible, and look ahead to the future of the Elk River Trail.

Since our founding in 2020, the Elk River Trail Foundation has grown through the dedication of volunteers, board members, community leaders, businesses, organizations, and partners who believe in the incredible potential of the Elk River Trail and the communities it connects. This evening is an opportunity to celebrate all that we have accomplished together and recognize those who have played an important role in getting us to where we are today.

Our main honoree for the evening will be Kenneth Tawney, our founding president, whose leadership, dedication, and belief in the vision of the Elk River Trail Foundation helped lay the foundation for the organization we are today.

And, of course, we're going to celebrate the holiday season in style! Guests will enjoy a delicious dinner catered by Bricks & Barrels, followed by live entertainment from The Two Roommates. After the program and awards, we'll turn up the music, hit the dance floor, and plan to dance the night away!

Most importantly, this evening helps support the continued work of the Elk River Trail Foundation. Funds raised will help us preserve, protect, and enhance the trail while supporting recreation, tourism, community development, events, partnerships, and future opportunities throughout the Elk River region.

This is more than a dinner. It is a celebration of how far we've come, the people who helped us get here, and the vision that continues to move us forward. We hope you'll join us for an evening of celebration, connection, and holiday cheer as we remain Rooted in Community, Driven by Vision.
