Stumphouse Bike Park — $27 thousand the better

The public facilities at Walhalla’s Stumphouse Mountain Bike Park received a boost yesterday when the mayor received a pair of checks from supporters of the biking and hiking amenities that are in development north of the city in the vicinity of a set of historic tunnels that date back to the years before the Civil War. The benefactors invited Mayor Danny Edwards for a symbolic ceremony in which two blown-up checks were presented. The largest one, $25 thousand, came from Oconee Forever. A $2 thousand contribution was made by the Walhalla Sertoma Club.
