Better Late Than Never

Ok folks got some belated news for ya today!

First let me start off with an explanation of that last video I posted. It came from our local Montgomery County 4-H Fair!! A splendid little fair with plenty of elaphant ears and tractors to boot. I helped out with the Friends of Sugar Creek Booth for most of the weekend while I let my 6 yr old son run around like a little piggy.

The musical highlight of weekend was Steve Trent and Small Town. They had a great set even though it was a little short, but that was no fault of thiers. Another slpendid performance of the weekend was skits put on by Dance by Debra, which is a wonderful dance company located in downtown Crawfordsville full of many talented youths.

Now your probably wondering about the slide show... Well see the Friends of Sugar Creek were raffling off this really great canoe as a fundraiser and as an effort to draw people in to our informational booth. Well it was early Saturday morning that I discovered just how much fun kids can have in a canoe whether it is in the water or out of it. So I decided to let the kids sit in the canoe and find out how many of them have ever held a paddle before and give them their first lesson if they have never had the opportunity to hold a paddle before. I also decided that the kids looked so cute that I could not pass up the opportunity to take a photo and create a slide show.

I also have to commend our local 4-H fair for thier plentiful and enormous recycling bins. I discoverd there is a large education gap in this recycling movement. I was very surprised to see how many people do not know what the difference between paper and plastic is or what paper and plastic is recyclable. I even had a few questions myself. Straws for example... and does a piece of palstic have to have a recyclable arrow and rating number in order to be recyclable. And what about the food factor? I think a recycling education project would be in order for our local community and that this would make a great future project for me. If any one else is interested in partaking in this type of project feel free to contact me at Lotusdog@hotmail.com or post onto My Green Karnyval Group. I have some Great ideas regarding this and so little time!!
