              The second annual Wachusett Greenways celebration provided activities for children of all ages.  Children put their creative energies to work at the nature-inspired art work table.  Using a map as a guide, participants visited a variety of sites where they had their faces painted, went on a treasure hunt/nature walk, and estimated the number of beans in a large jar.  Rutland Police officers provided helmet and bicycle safety checks.
 
            Walking and bicycling on the Mass Central Rail Trail and the Midstate Trail,  youngsters were on the look-out for the "Green Man".

            As participants enjoyed listening to the music of the Thundertones, they indulged a lunch break of hot dogs, cookies, drinks, chips, and popcorn.

            With sunshine, a gentle breeze, and lots of fun, the day turned out to be a perfect 10.
