Join us in September for the Seventh Annual BEDBUG Hat Trick

Sunday September 11th 2011

Come and join us once again for some fun hiking, biking, and driving up and around Pine Valley Ranch Park, just northwest of Buffalo Creek, Colorado on Sunday, September 11th! Pine Valley boasts a large network of hiking and biking trails, and will be the endpoint of a scenic driving tour up and around the front range. Download the registration form here to mail or bring in your donation/registration, or just meet us up at the event. To get the latest information as it happens, subscribe to the Fund's mailing list. We will send you information about the start of the driving tour, recommended biking routes in the park, and much more throughout the summer as we prepare for what is sure to be another fun and successful event!

The Bedbug Hat Trick is an annual event benefitting the David L. Bucknam Memorial Scholarship Fund. Named after the Bucknam family's beloved Volkswagen camper bus, the Hat Trick is a three-in-one event encompassing hiking, biking, and driving events. All events take place in one area, culminating in a casual, but very tasty, feast.
