Arbor Day 2010 - January 16
Fun was had by all ages at the Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, Jan. 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Families enjoyed making a piece of paper to take home, creating and decorating a hat using newspaper, getting their faces painted, playing nature-themed carnival games, and listening to music from Z-Viols.

Tree planting demonstrations, a story time with fun craft, leaf rubbings and kids' zip line rounded out the many activities of the day.

Johnny Appleseed made a special appearance, signing autographs and giving away acorns. Smokey Bear and Lucky Ladybug were also on hand for the festivities.

Visitors also learned proper tree planting techniques and picked up a tree seedling to take home.

Thanks to 2010 Arbor Day Sponsor Waste Management and to the many volunteers who helped make the event a success.
