A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our 9th Annual Headwaters Party at the beautiful West Overton Barn! We are so grateful to everyone who came out to enjoy the evening, share a meal, listen to live music, participate in our basket raffles and 50/50, and celebrate the Jacobs Creek Watershed Association.

This event truly would not be possible without the incredible support of our attendees, sponsors, and donors. Your support helps JCWA continue our work throughout the watershed and provide educational programs, recreation events, and conservation projects for our community.

A special thank you to:

🎶 Robin & Steve Acoustic Music for providing the perfect soundtrack for the evening!

🎨 Adam Walmsley Art for bringing his caricature talents and giving our guests a fun keepsake to take home!

🥃 West Overton Distilling for providing the bar and helping keep the drinks flowing throughout the evening!

🍽️ Espey's Meat Market for the delicious farm-to-table dinner!

🏛️ West Overton Village and Museums for providing such a beautiful and historic setting for our celebration!

And, of course, THANK YOU to everyone who attended and supported JCWA! Whether you purchased a ticket, donated a basket, or simply came out to celebrate with us, you helped make this night special.

We are incredibly grateful for this community and for everyone who continues to support the Jacobs Creek Watershed Association. 💙

We're asking for the community's help following an incident of vandalism at Greenlick Lake/ Jacobs Creek Park.📣‼

Sometime Sunday or Monday night, a vehicle drove through the park doing donuts tearing up and damaging areas of the grass. If you were at or near the park and saw anything unusual or have any information that may help us identify what happened, please contact the Fayette County Parks & Recreation at [email protected] or call 724-430-1200 Ext: 1506

This is especially disheartening after JCWA recently reported vandalism at Acme Dam following one of our paddling events. These parks, lakes, trails, and natural areas belong to our community, and they deserve to be treated with care and respect. We all have a role in protecting the places that provide our community with opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Please help us spread the word and remind others to respect and care for these shared spaces.
