Biking and Walking with Ride & Walk4 Art was a blast and helped bring arts into Calaveras Schools

On March 19, 2018, the Calaveras County Arts Council presented our Third Annual Ride & Walk4Art event at New Hogan Lake. 250 cyclists and walkers took part, helping us raise over $6,500 dollars for our Arts in Education program to support arts funding in Calaveras County public schools. It was great fun and we look forward to next year!
