Plant a Tree



We had a great time with our Arbor Day celebration. Not only did the kids get to participate fully on Arbor Day by planting a tree. They were able to witness how people work together to make our community a better place. Matt Watkins, City of Pasco Mayor Pro-tem came and helped and we had a lot of help from the City Parks Facilities manager, Dan Dotta. I was told that this is the last step for our city to become a Tree City USA! It was great for the kids to be a part of such an important community event. We really appreciate the support and help we got from the City of Pasco. It was a wonderful event that the kids will remember for years to come.

The BBQ we had afterwards was great as well. The kids earned the money for the BBQ by selling over 2,000.00 worth of candy bars! The proceeds went to support our CampFire USA council and all of the wonderful things they do. The kiddo's did a great job for their first candy sale ever. Everyone played with bubbles and played on the park toys and enjoyed all the hot dogs and burgers they could eat. It was a fantastic day!
