The
Friends of the Monarch Trail held their annual celebration to mark the start of
the monarch butterfly migration season on Sunday, August 28. The Monarch Trail is located at
the north end of Innovation Park. It circles around the perimeter of the
now-complete Echelon Apartment complex. A large crowd of monarch admirers gathered
to bid safe travels to the butterflies as they begin their annual 2,500 mile
journey to Mexico.

Festivities
included food, face painting, live music by Ceol Cairde “Music of Friends”, and
butterfly life-cycle displays. The main event was a tour guided of the trail by
Friends director Barb Agnew. She explained the significance of the County Grounds
as a roosting site and stopover for monarchs and described restoration efforts
undertaken by the Friends.
