We are honored to come together to celebrate the life of Zakaria Bel Qaid on Saturday, June 6. ❤️
We’ll meet at Midway at 3:00 PM and walk Crossover to the top of Standard Park, a place that meant so much to Zakaria and where he spent countless hours doing what he loved most. Some of our favorite memories of him were made there, from his huge smile at the top of the park to watching him absolutely crush it on his skis. We’ll spend time together sharing stories, laughs, and memories before walking back down around 5:00 PM.
Afterward, everyone is invited to continue the celebration at Stowe Cider from 5:00–7:00 PM for food, drinks, and time together. All ages are welcome.
We’ll also be collecting written memories for Zakaria’s family. Whether it’s a funny story, a favorite moment, or simply something you want them to know, we encourage everyone to share. These messages will be turned into a book for them to keep forever.
More information will also be shared soon about a future rail jam held in Zakaria’s honor. Through this event, we hope to raise money for a scholarship in his name to help kids in our community achieve their dream of going to Nationals, something Zakaria loved and truly thrived at.
At only 9 years old, Zakaria left an unforgettable impact on this community. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating his life, his spirit, and the joy he brought to everyone around him. ❤️ if you have any questions feel free to reach out.
