With the D&H Rail Trail earning the designation of “Trail of the Year”, the GFCBA’s involvement with the Outdoor Town Initiative is more important than ever. Looking forward, plans are underway to expand our fundraising and grant efforts, with a focus to enhance town aesthetics, local commerce, and overall quality of life within the Greater Forest City region. As an example, our inaugural Poker Run was held in July 2021, with the support of our membership and community, we raised nearly $1,600! The event was a wonderful opportunity for business members to be involved in community activity and for community members and visitors to support our members and explore the beauty of our big backyard!
Other events we will be hosting in 2022 are:
-Easter on Main
-Trail Town Festival
-Halloween on Main
-Christmas on Main
Our fundraisers will include:
