The opening of Holmesbrook Trail will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon on Oct. 1. The event will be hosted by the Friends of Wadsworth Trails and the city of Wadsworth. Wadsworth residents Melissa Petit, in pursuit of her Girl Scout Gold project, and Jacob Roden, pursuing his Eagle Scout project, worked together to develop the trail. It was extremely difficult to create the trail due to the terrain and topography, but Jacob did an excellent job in the trail installation, which now exists from the end of the paved trail at Holmesbrook through the woods to Wolfe Avenue. Melissa and Jacob also cleaned up and redefined the Roth Eagle Trail that leads from the end of the paved trail to Waverly Street. Melissa was able to obtain a donation of two benches from Plastics-R-Unique and was involved in the bench installation, as well as the acquisition and placement of plants around the benches. The city will add one more bench and signage to mark the trail more clearly.
