The first of the finished barrels arrived today at Douglas Auto Body, who is graciously donating the sealing of all the barrels for the event.  We can't believe how great they look!  We're very excited to see them all over town this summer.  Be sure to check them out along with your local La Grange businesses!

La Grange has many wonderful shops and restaurants to enjoy this season.  If you live in the area you can help feed the economic growth of your community by shopping locally.  La Grange offers many options - restaurants, gifts, clothing, crafts, health, fun events, a seasonal farmer's market. If you really want to make a difference why not walk to town rather than drive?  You help your environment, get some exercise, and can enjoy the beauty of La Grange as you make your way.   

Now that the weather is getting warmer it's a good time to start preparing for your garden.  Get your vegetable seeds and seedlings going now for planting soon so you can harvest your own produce.  Water it all summer long with rain saved in your rain barrel.  Good for you and good for the planet.
