P.L.A.Y Newsletter June 2007 PLAY (Public Land Access Year-round) will be sponsoring the 9th Annual Freedom Rally and Fun Run. This event marks the 9th year since PLAY was established. The Freedom Rally and Fun Run will be held on Saturday, June 30th at Camp 60 on Washington Creek of the Clearwater National Forest near Headquarters, ID. Registration for the Poker Run begins at 8 am with the ride starting at 8:30 am. Per person cost is $10 for the first fun run game and $5 for each individual hand. PLAY members will get a $5 discount. Those with the highest score will win part of the prize money. The amount depends on attendance. Proceeds for this and all PLAY sponsored events go to the continuous protection of your right to access public lands with motorized vehicles. PLAY is currently working on the North/South trail which will connect Idaho in ATV trails. PLAY also encourages the “Tread Lightly” philosophy at all its events. Come and join us at this annual event; enjoy the crisp clean air, a great trail system for both ATV and Motorcycle enthusiasts and the possibility of winning some cash. There will also be raffle prizes. For more information contact Heather Leach at 476-7132 or Alex Irby at 476-3341. For 9 years PLAY (Public Lands Access Year-round) has been fighting to protect the rights of you and your customers to access public lands. We have worked diligently with the US Forest Service, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Idaho Department of Lands and Potlatch to keep public access available. We have had many successes in the last year including the striking down of HB 187 which would have eliminated any crossing of ATV’s on pavement throughout the state of Idaho. This legislation would have severely impacted ATV use throughout all our favorite areas. Currently PLAY is working on creating a North/South trail from Weippe to St. Maries with the goal of connecting into trails from other ATV groups to form a system spanning from Canada to the southern Idaho border. 
To continue these important projects, PLAY sponsors yearly ATV trail rides to show off our projects and to raise funds. We are asking you to help defray the cost of this fundraiser by becoming a sponsor of our yearly Freedom Rally. This ATV rally will be held the end of June in the Headquarters area in Clearwater County. We set up a safe but enjoyable trail, provide interpretation for those experiencing the public lands for the first time along with education on the Tread Lightly concept. Your sponsorship of this annual event will ensure the money raised at the event can go directly to our ongoing expenses. PLAY encourages you to continue your support of access to public lands by being a sponsor of this annual event. You will be welcome show and sell your items at the Rally and you will be recognized in our advertisements prior to the event and at the day of the event. PLAY has also just recently launched a website, another place your sponsorship will appear. _____ $50 for Silver Sponsor |
