A big thank you to the McLeod County 4-H volunteers for the installation of the concrete edging and mulch in the garden beds outside of the 4-H Building at the Fairgrounds! Another great addition to the best County Fairgrounds in Minnesota. 😉

To say we are excited about the habitat educational signage recently installed at Swan Lake Park is a bit of an understatement!

Whether you're a regular at the park or you've never visited, we are sure you'll leave with a few bits of knowledge about the park and the habitats that reside within it.

We had a blast teaming up with McLeod County Veteran Services to host this event!

A very special thanks to Peter Martignacco, President of the Minnesota Mycological Society, for volunteering his time and sharing his knowledge.
