Show us your garden brag!

Attention gardeners: Do you have a great shot of your garden that you want to share? Do you have an unusual vegetable or plant growing? Does one of your tomatoes resemble a celebrity or historical figure? Then it is time for you to enter our first ever #gardenbrag contest! Here is how it works:

1) Post your picture to our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/sustainablemorehead) and add "#gardenbrag" along with any other description of your photo that you wish to include.

2) Encourage your friends, neighbors, and relatives to visit our page and like your photo.

Subaru-IMBA Trail Care Crew comes to Morehead, KY July 16-18

The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew, on the road since 1997, is IMBA's grassroots educational program and an authority on sustainable trail building practices. Our professional trail experts travel year-round throughout the United States and beyond, leading trail work sessions, meeting with land managers and working with IMBA-affiliated clubs and the communities they serve to improve mountain biking opportunities. The Trail Care Crew program has inspired great volunteer trail work across the U.S. and abroad - a big help to government agencies and land managers who have limited funding for trail construction and upkeep. As a direct result, there are now thousands of new and improved trails in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and several European countries.
