Friends of Staunton Park

A HUGE thank you to all of the Staunton State Park volunteers who worked so hard on our float in the Conifer Christmas Parade - we are so excited to have won BEST IN SHOW!! It was a cold day but we had fun. We would be remiss if we didn't also express our deepest gratitude to the Conifer Chamber Event Planning Committee and all of the volunteers who helped make this event run smoothly - we are lucky to have so many enthusiastic, hard-working, caring people to make these community events happen!



That lady in the Action Trackchair is Lisa, one of our long-time Park volunteers who was disabled following an accident. Thanks to your support of the Staunton Track Chair Program she can continue to volunteer plus hundreds of visitors with disabilities can enjoy Staunton State Park in the summer.

Thank you to our sponsor, My Mountain Town!


We wish you all the sweetest holiday season ever!
