This morning at 9am the group First to Cross the Brownwood Bridge was assembled. Hats, shirts, signs, and part of the ribbon cutting. We were asked to keep it quiet until after crossing.
The article will be in the Sun tomorrow. We were 2nd to cross. Nice opening with staff, Daily Sun, photographs, and video. Jennifer Parr along with those involved with the venture, was there to cut the ribbon. From Brownwood Bridge over to Chitty Chatty and back to Brownwood was 57 minutes.

All the golf carts traveled from Brownwood to Chitty Chatty and then to their homes. Those with cameras attached to their golf carts ventured back to Brownwood for camera return.
Path was open to anyone who discovered, after opening. Official announcement will be Christmas Eve Morning in the Daily Sun.
