Chad Zandy of "Team Farsight" shows off some of the material he's been studying to get ready for an historic trek on the Pacific Crest Trail starting next month. The adventure will be historic because this is the first time a blind man -- Trevor Thomas -- will be a team leader. Zandy and Thomas were on WESB's LiveLine last week, and will be making another visit before they start their journey. Before that, though, is the Team Farsight Expedition Kick-Off Fundraising Event from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday at Kimberly's Cool Beans Cafe. It's a $20 donation at the door for adults; $5 for children. It includes food, live music, pictures and plans for the upcoming trip. You can listen to last week's LiveLine here .
