Saturday April 19th is Earth day and at 9am in Brook Peterson Park (1200 Oak Avenue) the city will be getting the parks ready for spring.
There will be a tree planting, breakfast goodies and a photo with the Tree City USA banner.
Then at about 9:30, each Adopt a Park group, and volunteers, will head off to their city parks to perform some spring cleaning. That way, when it gets really nice out, the kids will have a nice safe place to play.
Please bring your own work gloves, rakes and friends. No need for garbage bags, those will be waiting for you.
Ohh, now I think this is where we sing “Plant a tree, trees for America. Plant a tree today for all the world to see.” 🙂
On Saturday April 19th from 12-3pm the new Public Works facility will have an open house. You’ll get to see the new facility, meet the people and understand what they really do. There will even be snow plows, dump trucks and other big kid equipment for big and small kids to check out.
Food and beverages will be provided too. So why not come and check it out?
