Sauk County Earth Day

press release: Celebrate EARTH DAY with us and learn about all the green options available to us right here in Sauk County! There will be exhibits, vendors, mini-workshops, and plenty of kids activities! We’ll also have author Elise Mosser who wrote about Millie Zantow; a Sauk County local who helped create the recycling standards we have today. There will be food available and HCE’s homemade pies! The Sauk County Art Association is also sponsoring Encore!!Art – where others see trash, artists see an opportunity to reassemble, renew, and repurpose. For more information, visit the Sauk County Earth Day website at www.saukcountyearthday.org or email info@spriverpal.org.
