Our 2nd annual Preston Hollow Village Family Fun Color Run is less than a week away on Sunday, May 1 at 4 pm. There is still time to register. Sign up here: www.playtri.com/northaven. You can also register (or pick up your race packet) on the trail at the Edgemere intersection on Saturday morning, or before the race on Sunday.
As you may have seen while on the trail, new safety measures are being initiated at some intersections. Within the St. Michaels and Edgemere intersections, the City, in response to our requests to help calm traffic, has painted a defined crosswalk area, painted new sawtooth yield signals, and installed new yield signage. These additions complement the safety features already in place. Please remember to exercise caution when using the trail at road crossings and if you are driving through a trail intersection, please slow down and yield to pedestrians. Let's keep everyone safe along the trail. -FoNHT

The Dallas Public Library is collecting children's books to help restock the school library of Donald T. Shields Elementary. The school's library was destroyed during the recent tornadoes and they need help to restock the shelves. We've set up a container next to our Little Free Library at the Edgemere intersection for trail users to donate books. The library needs any new or gently used children's books on any topic.
Please help us support this library imitative by leaving any pre-K to 5th grade books in the container beneath our Little Free Library. We are collecting books this week and weekend and will deliver to the library next week!
