Our wonderful Aunt Roxy entered a contest and won The Fire Well a free rain barrel. And she won! Very cool. So we will be taking a field trip up to the city today to attend the Rain Barrel class at the Reed Center.
Also, for anyone who is interested in the issue of water quality, this is a great opportunity to participate in a free workshop. The OAC will be hosting!
