Do you have an old jar of pennies?
The Airport Area Friends of the Montour Trail is having their 17th annual "Pennies For Your Trail" campaign on Saturday, May 11.
Frank Keppel, a resident of Robinson and a 20-year volunteer with the Montour Trail, said all money raised from the event will be used to maintain the Airport Area sections of the Montour Trail.

Rain or shine, trail volunteers will be out from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the intersection of Montour Run Road and Park Manor Boulevard (the gazebo below Robinson Town Centre) in Robinson collecting and weighing loose change.
"We gladly take paper money as well," Keppel said.
