Come Alive Outside and its partners are inviting Star Wars fans of all ages and abilities to get out on the trails for their fourth annual Jedi Trails! At 1 p.m., the Rutland Shriners will be serving free hotdogs. At 1:30, the galactic festivities will begin. The whole event wraps up at 3:30 p.m.
800 Star Wars figurines have been hidden along Pine Hill Park in Rutland County. If a lucky trail-goer finds one, they may either keep it or trade it for another at the end of the trail. Organizations including Come Alive Outside, Partners for Prevention, Rutland County Restorative Justice Center, Turning Point, Pine Hill Trust, and The Mint will have information on their organizations and Star Wars themed-activities at the end of the trail in the bottom field area of the Lower Giorgetti. So-Full Sisters will also be on site with their food truck for hungry Jedis and wookies.
Come Alive Outside is hosting the fourth annual Jedi Trails event in Rutland, featuring A Star Wars theme with 800 hidden Star Wars figurines for lucky trail-goers to keep or trade.
For the fourth year in a row, the 501st will be making an appearance, and attendees will have a chance to meet their favorite Star Wars characters. “Last year’s Jedi Trails was amazing,” said marketing and program manager Haley Rice. “The weather was gorgeous, and over 700 people came out to walk the trail and enjoy all the cool Star Wars-themed fun. This year, we’ve got new figures to find and free hotdogs, too.”
Along with figurines and fun, folks may even encounter some of their favorite Star Wars characters. The trail has an uneven dirt surface and is 3 feet wide in most places. Bikes are not allowed on this part of the trail, and this trail is not wheelchair accessible. Figures will be hidden along the 1/8-mile section of the Pine Cone Adventure Forest. The book “Star Wars: Creatures Big and Small” will also be on the trail as part of the Trail Tale. The nearest restroom is the Porta Potty near the parking lot.
We’re looking for fun and dedicated volunteers to help with our Jedi Trails from 12:30-4 p.m. Volunteers will receive our undying devotion, a free hotdog, and their choice of Star Wars figurines.
