Award and Fees
Center patch is no charge if all six patches obtained.
This patch will be mailed to you when we receive all six start cards.
This patch is one of a group of patches featuring transportation that helped shape the area's history. These patches, when placed together, form a "wheel." If you collect all six of these patches, the center of the wheel, which features NWFT's mascot, the "little guy," is free of charge. You can find these patches at our regular 2011 events or the following Year Rounds:
The Lincoln Highway was the first coast-to-coast highway, changing the way people traveled. This highway has been replaced by Highway 30, but you will still find reminders of this historic route in many places in Fremont, including one of the original cement post markers placed by the boy scouts (in front of the May Museum on Nye St.) and Lincoln Highway signs as depicted on the patch following the original route through town.
