Berkshires.
Wear good hiking boots and pack a light snack with local farm fresh produce and

Hudson River and Southern Taconic Mountains.

weekend in an authentic bed & breakfast.
Excellent mountain bikes avialble for guests.
The inn is a few minutes from the Wassaic Train Station on Metro North's

TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 2011, 7:00 PM - Interlaken Inn
Forum on the Housatonic Covered Bride Bike Trail
A forum will be held to discuss the economic impact of the proposed bicycle trail
that would connect nine Litchfield County communities along the Housatonic
River.
Discussion and expert commentary by Carl Knoch of the Rails To Trails
Conservancy, Bruce Adams (Kent First Selectman) and Ruth Skovron
(Northwestern CT Regional Planning Collaborative).
Knoch is the author of “Trail User Surveys and Economic Impact,” a summary of
14 trail user expenditure surveys in the Northeastern U.S.
FORUM IS FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
The Housatonic Covered Bridge Bike Trail would use the old river roads that
parallel the Housatonic, and typically have little traffic. Relative to the rest of the
area, the river roads have very few hills, making for a more enjoyable ride. The
proposed “HouBike” Trail is approximately 45 miles long, and would run from
Ashley Falls, MA to New Milford, CT.
The Berkshires Trail would connect an several attractions:
Bartholomew’s Cobble
The Great Falls in Falls Village
Dean Ravine and the Covered Bridge in Cornwall
Kent Falls State Park
The Sloane – Stanley Museum / Connecticut Antique Machinery Association
The ledges at the Schaghticoke Indian Reservation
Bulls Bridge and its gorge
And Sega Meadows in New Milford.
HELD at THE INTERLAKEN INN, RT. 112, LAKEVILLE, CT

Thank You.

Lori is a long time Berkshires resdient living in Stoughton, Massachusetts with her
husband and children. Her sound is a Boston folk favorite with lyrics about love,
pain and pathos of domestic life. Musical artists Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood,
Alison Krauss, Keith Urban, and LeAnn Rimes are among the many that have
recorded McKenna's songs in recent years.
As a young woman faith and spirituality were ever present in
her life; "I think I made better choices in my life because I
felt [my mother was with me]."
Lori's latest album track. "Still Down Here" is a prayer that all the loved ones who
leave their earthly burdens behind remember the ones still here on Earth, still in
need of their love and guidance. With a daughter so empathetic to the human
condition and so loyal and loving to her family and community, one guesses that
Lori's mother, Lorraine is looking down, very proud.
