Update: Trailer Site Project Mendon Ponds Park

Rochester Trail Riders

Welcome to a special edition of the Rochester Trail Riders podcast. I am Lindsay LaBella, and today I provide an important update from Mendon Ponds Park. This episode discusses the collaborative efforts between local riders, Monroe County Parks, and Tractor Supply of Caledonia to enhance the cleanliness and beauty of our park. Thanks to community involvement and generous support from Tractor Supply, and labor from Monroe County, we are equipped with new tools and preparing to install instructional signage aimed at maintaining our trails and parking areas.

Lindsay:

Oh hey, it's me, your horse that just left a big dookie while it's tied up next to your trailer at Menden Ponds Park, Lindsay LaBella. And I'm here today to give you guys an update on all things manure and Menden Ponds. Why? Because you're listening to Rochester Trail Riders. This one is a short and sweet episode. I am just giving you guys a little bonus update here because I did reach out to Monroe County Parks Department and they are over the moon ecstatic that the majority of us Really want to keep Mendon Ponds beautiful, want to treat the trails with respect and the parking area with respect, and they are all in and helping. So, as it stands right now there's going to be some work behind this, but I want to let you guys know that Tractor Supply out of Caledonia has been kind enough to, give us a pitchfork so we can have it there. We all expect it to be stolen, but you know what? When in doubt, give people the opportunity to be good first. Right. So thank you. Tractor supply, Caledonia. You guys are awesome. And I will be over there as soon as I have the go ahead to go grab a fork and get a sign up. Sign number two, Monroe County is going to work with me and I am coming up with a couple of different designs for a signage that we can put up there saying, Hey, thanks for keeping our park, beautiful, clean up your manure. Maybe I'll make it witty. I don't know. I'll probably have to have three different, signs for them through which they choose and approve. those signs will also have, uh, thank yous to Tractor Supply, Monroe County Parks, and Rochester Trail Riders, because this is a wonderful Group effort to get this together. Monroe County, it says they are all in for bringing out the manpower to put in the post for us and actually mount the sign. I just need to get it to them. At this moment, we are in the design phase to get a sign up. We have a pitchfork ready and in hand, and we have labor on standby. And I am so excited that you guys really, really want to help and put all this together. If this works, we'll do a little crowdfunding and we'll get things moving at some of the other parks. But for now, huge thank you, and just wanted to give you an update that things are moving forward. So until next time, remember to respect the trail, wear a helmet, and guess what? Still clean up at your trailer site. Happy Trails!
