HAYWARD, MN - On Sunday, the city of Hayward had a special ribbon-cutting ceremony for their end of the Blazing Star Bike Trail. Hayward Mayor Mike Hansen, bike committee members, the DNR, local pastor Joshua Enderson, and Rep. Peggy Bennett, R-Albert Lea, took part. Rep. Bennett has been an advocate for the trail and its eventual completion to connect Albert Lea and Hayward.
“I’m proud to attend this ribbon-cutting ceremony in Hayward, and will continue to work to finish this trail for our residents,” said Bennett. “I have met with DNR officials at the state level about this and will continue to do so until we get this trail completed. It's been a very long process, with many local people who have worked hard on this project. It definitely deserves to be completed.”
