Update: Our Earth Day Celebration was canceled due to torrential rains two hours before the event was scheduled to start. We were flooded. We appreciate everyone who came to help at the event, especially those who pushed pick-up trucks out of the mud, (yeah, it was fun) and all of the visitors who had planned to attend. Sometimes you just have to admit the weather really isn’t cooperating.
