The 2011 Annual LRLT BBQ and Fundraiser was held at 300-acre Cole Ranch easement on September 24, 2011. Over 100 community members and land trust supporters attended the event. BBQ-ed hamburgers and delicous summer side dishes were on the menu, with all food donated and prepared by the LRLT Board of Directors.  Live music was provided by the Salmon Valley String Band, which Congressman Simpson's State Natural Resources Director Laurel Sayer was the featured speaker.  We would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all those who attended the BBQ and bid on the silent auction items.
