New 2012 Programs

I am very excited to announce that we are currently designing two spring/summer Trips for Kids programs suitable for a range of ages. We want to make Trips for Kids Annapolis Valley bigger and better then ever before. We are planning for both local and distanced "ride days" to provide a variety of trails for participants to enjoy.

More details to come!

Raffle Winner

I would like to begin by thanking everyone who has supported Trips For Kids Annapolis Valley this past year. We would not be where we are today without those who support us.

Congratulations goes out to Sue Barkhouse, winner of the Trips for Kids art draw. Sue Barkhouse has won one of Angela Melanson's beautiful paintings "Slow Rider".

Next year we hope to make Trips for Kids Annapolis Valley bigger and better. More events. More participants. Bigger sponsorship. More rides.

Stay Tuned!

AVMBA Fall Festival

The Annapolis Valley Mountain Bike Association's second annual Fall Festival Fundraiser is quickly approaching. The Fall Festival is a full weekend of mountain biking activities with all proceeds go directly back into improving and expanding the trails here in the Valley.

October 29th

Saturdays events will take place at the Kentville Participark AKA "The Gorge". The morning will consist of a trail building clinic, focusing on wooden features followed by an intermediate group ride of the local trails. Saturdays events are all free with donations being gladly accepted!

See www.avmba.com for more details!

October 30th

Sunday's events will take place at the Woodville Community Hiking Trails AKA "The Links". Activities include a 4-hour endurance race, a 2-Hour Youth endurance race, and a guided hiking tour of the trails. Trips for Kids bikes and helmets will be available onsite for people to use. There is a $25 registration fee for the 4- hour enduro and $10 for the 2-hour youth enduro. The guided hiking tour is free! The Trips for Kids art piece by Angela Melanson will be raffled off as the grande finale of the Fall Festival. Tickets for the raffle will be available on site $2 each or 3 for $5.

Trips for Kids Fundraising

We are currently fundraising for the Trips for Kids Annapolis Valley Chapter. We are raffling off a beautiful painting done by Angela Melanson. It is 24” x 24” acrylic, pastel and pencil on wood panel valued of $450.

Tickets are $2 each or 3/$5, and can be bought at the Wolfville Recreation Centre or every Wednesday evening at the Wolfville Farmers Market.

In addition to our raffle we are selling blank greeting cards with prints of Angela’s pieces on the cover. These gorgeous cards are $5 each and can be purchased at the Wolfville Recreation Centre as well.

All money raised will go towards keeping the Trips for Kids program going and help with the maintenance costs of the bicycles.
