The Halifax Community Club and the Whitingham Free Public Library are sponsoring “Wild Spirit Walking” at 7 p.m. on Sunday,February 7, at the Halifax Community Hall. In 2015, Halifax residents Meggie Stoltzman and Patrick Wilkins took a sabbatical from their organic farm, Hermit Thrush Homestead (http://www.hermitthrushhomestead.com/), to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. The 2,650-mile Trail runs along the Sierra and Cascades Mountains from Mexico to Canada. Patrick and Meggie’s through-hike began in mid-April and continued until late-August, averaging about 25 miles a day. Meggie and Patrick will use many beautiful photographs to share the many ups and downs of such a challenging endeavor, including enduring the elements, the majesty of the American west, the struggle of on-trail illness, and the helpfulness of humanity found all along the way. Patrick and Meggie will also gladly answer questions about the trip and the Trail.

The Halifax Community Hall, located at 20 Brook Road in West Halifax, is wheelchair accessible and has an accessible bathroom. The presentation is free and open to the public. There is a suggested voluntary donation of $5.00. All donations will be applied toward a winter heat fund to enable the Club to host other programs year-round in the historic Hall. On February 7, the Hall will be open early, at 6:30 p.m., giving neighbors an opportunity to visit while enjoying hot cider, coffee, and tea.
