A huge thank you goes out to everyone involved in this year’s celebration of Earth Day on Saturday, May 10. Informative displays and various helpful discussions on many topics from alternative energy, curing wood to poultry raising and talking with your Mayor were enjoyed by all. Thank you to the wonderful businesses in town who helped make the silent auction a success: Babbling Book, Haines Home Building, Lutak Lumber, Whiterock Nursery, and Mountain Market. And thank you to all the participants who sold plant starts and delicious food, and to those non-profit organizations who provide many important services to the Haines community, helping make it a healthy and enjoyable place to live. May every day be “Earth Day.”
