Dedication and Ribbon Cutting Set for the Newest Portion of the John Richard Demuth Trail

Āé¶¹¾«Ń” at Tuscarawas will celebrate the opening of the newest segment of the John Richard Demuth Trail on Tuesday, September 24 at noon.

A ribbon cutting ceremony will mark the trail expansion and honor the John Richard Demuth family.  The two-mile trail was named in honor of Mr. Demuth’s 50 years of dedicated service to the campus’ Tuscarawas County University Foundation board of directors. He was a charter member of the foundation board, which originated in 1968.

ā€œWe are thrilled to dedicate this trail in honor of the John Demuth family,ā€ said Āé¶¹¾«Ń”Tuscarawas Dean and Chief Administrative Officer Brad Bielski. ā€œMr. Demuth was compassionate about and devoted to the growth of the campus and education of local individuals.ā€

The ceremony will be held at the trailhead located next to the Science and Advanced Technology Center, 330 University Dr. NE, New Philadelphia.  Refreshments to follow.

ā€œThe campus is committed to creating healthy recreational and educational opportunities for people of all ages and abilities,ā€ said Bielski. ā€œWe are so excited to celebrate the opening with the entire community. The trail is another step toward making our campus more accessible and enjoyable for all students and visitors,ā€
