Thank-you Hikers – 5th Annual Hike the Highlands Festival
Wow… what an incredible 10 days of hiking. Great weather, an amazing camaradie & friendship among the hikers, interesting & challenging trails, and informative evening activities made the 5th Annual Hike the Highlands festival memorable. Thanks to you, our festival matched last year’s numbers in registration in a tough year but also increase by over 200 people, hiking more trails and staying longer. You have given us the confidence to continue to be better and excel in next year’s festival. Our team has enjoyed meeting all of you and developing lasting friendships.
I would also like like to thank our team – our organizing committee, the registration volunteers, guides & sweeps, evening presentors, partners, sponsors and our friend Wally Hayes, NS Tourism great photographer, for your important contributions in making the 5th Annual Hike the Highlands festival successful. An amazing team that can be very proud of its work.
Hikers in this year festival came from six provinces – Newfoundland & Labrador, PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, US ( Two states), and Scotland. A great bunch of people that I along with fellow hikers enjoyed meeting and sharing stories and experiences with during the ten days of the festival. Our veteran guide, Lisa Dixon said in today’s hike, I never have meet a hiker I didn’t like.
Thanks again to all of you for making the 5th Annual Hike the Highlands Festival special. Here are just a few of my favorite pictures pics to remember the 2008 Hike the Highlands Festival.
