The Halifax Community Club and the Whitingham Free Public Library are sponsoring “Joe's Left Coast Trip” at 7 p.m. on Sunday, April 10, at the Halifax Community Hall. In 2010, Dummerston resident Joe Cook bicycled along the west coast from Vancouver to Mexico. The 1,600 mile trip took about four weeks. Traveling with all his gear on his bicycle, Joe did not pack camping gear. Instead he found places to stay through the network Warm Showers, a community for touring cyclists and hosts (https://www.warmshowers.org/). Joe will use many beautiful photographs to illustrate the tale of his adventure. An avid bicyclist, Joe’s trips include travel along the Rhine, Rhone, and Danube Rivers in Europe (https://www.blogger.com/profile/11014626626312847964); six times across Iowa (http://ragbrai.com/); and along every paved road on the Vermont highway map.

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 April 10, the Hall will be open early, at 6:30 p.m., giving neighbors an opportunity to visit while enjoying cider and tea.
