   Saturday, April 26th, 9:30am – 2pm, the Village will be hosting a big event in the Village Park to conclude a week of environmental awareness.  This is a FREE event and is open to the whole family.  Each year we choose a community project so that residents and families may become more involved with the community in which they live.  It is a wonderful opportunity to feel a sense of accomplishment and cooperation.  The new Welcome Sign, located at Hwy. 63 and Cemetery Road, gives quite the greeting to travelers entering our community and is to be completed with its finishing touches on Saturday and the following week, May 3rd.  The overall landscaping project will involve spreading dirt, laying the weed barrier, planting trees and shrubbery, mulching, and placing rock.  It is a big project, but with help we will be able to have it done very quickly.  The materials necessary to complete the task will be provided by the Village; it is asked that participants bring their own gloves, shovels, garden rakes and other hand tools.  As a token of appreciation, a donated lunch is offered to workers at 12pm.  There will be additional activities in the Village Park, along with information to take home from booths and exhibits.  At 12:30 – 2pm, quest speakers will share on their personal “green” initiatives and provide information on how to implement such practices within your own home and/or business.  Door prizes will be awarded to participants, Caricatures by KiMark Art Studio and “Green” Prizes and Discounts from Turtle Lake Businesses.  We hope you are able to attend and be a part of a long lasting development that thousands will see each day and to learn more about our impact on this world.
