Weekly News Article
Hello All, As the snow piles melt we seem to be amazed at what a mess the winter has left us with. As we all get out those rakes and clean up, we are reminded how much excrement our pets can leave behind. It’s not so bad to rake up after your own pooch, but every spring I get calls for people wanting me to remind their fellow pet owners to clean up after their pets. So here it is…be a good neighbor and clean up after your pets. Thank You.
Star Mikrot sent me some info on an upcoming event to share with you. The Rutledge Garden Club Spring Craft Fair will be held on Saturday, May 12th from 9am to 2pm at the Rutledge Community Center.
