Building Bridges Bridge # 3 in Fahnestock was finished in early November. We gathered on Saturday, December 6th at 9:30 to celebrate the completion of the project thanks to volunteers from FoFHH, NY-NJ Trail Conference, Fats in the Cats, and Putnam Horse Council. They did more than just build a bridge.
