Registration is at 8:30 a.m., with the trek start time at 9 a.m. The trek will begin in Westfield, traveling to Easton, and then on to Route 1A and will stop at McCrum’s Facility in Mars Hill for a tour. The group will then continue on Route 1A south down by Mars Hill Mountain. There will be a coffee break and lunch stops along the 47-mile route.
    Donations received from this year’s trek will be given to Hospice of Aroostook and the new “House of Comfort” Hospice House Project in Central Aroostook.
    With a donation of $25 in memory of a loved one, their name will be placed on a memory board that will be mounted on the body of an antique farm truck that will be the lead vehicle for the trek.
