Tower Grove Park Hike and Food Truck Friday
First, we will hike about 2 miles in the eastern end of the park with a focus on the parks history and their 2022 Tree Restoration Plan. Returning to their cars, hikers will pick up their chairs or blankets and walk west about 0.5 mile to more than 20 Food Truck Friday vendors. Buy some food and drink and join several hundred best friends listening to a local band [often folk or country]. Later, walk back to your cars.
