Volunteers, HLT needs your handmade hats!

October 8, 2025

A teal cartoon graphic with balls of yarn that says "Calling all Crafters! Gorge apres Gorge 5k Seeks Handmade Hat Donations. Help us congratulate our top finishers and raise funds for land conservation! In the center of the graphic is the Gorge apres Gorge 5k and Fun Walk logo of a bear wearing a hat, with a speech bubble saying "Send us your hats by November 20th!"

It’s almost time for the Gorge apres Gorge 5k and Family Fun Walk – and Hilltown Land Trust needs your crafty help.

All are invited to Hilltown Land Trust’s first annual Community Gathering!
