The Trail Trekkers are a fit group of outdoor enthusiasts that gather together twice a week to enjoy all the beautiful trails that the Tobacco Valley has to offer. During the winter they might snow shoe and then come early spring they begin with some easy hikes to get everyone back in shape. By mid summer they will be found hiking a lot of vertical feet and perhaps even scrambling over some rocks.

The Louise Burke Memorial Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon has become something of an institution in Eureka. We know that just about the time that the tulips are blooming and lilacs start to come out, its time to look forward to this very special Friday luncheon. And this year's luncheon was the best yet. Julie Smith with her corps of volunteers put together an amazing event that was delicious, educational and fun.

In 2009, it was an idea that sprouted among participants in a Master Gardener class. By 2010, the group had begun building garden beds on county land adjacent to the Lincoln County fair grounds. That first year there were 33 raised beds established with organic soil and an automatic drip system. This spring Jim Finley, garden manager, reports there are currently 47 beds available with the plan to add another sixteen.
