ROSCOMMON - The Crawford-Roscommon Conservation District joined the Farm Market at the AuSable River Center in Roscommon Sept. 22 for their annual Conservation Expo.
“This is a great local partnership,” said Barb Stauffer, District Manager. “People stopping by could pick up their tree seedlings they had previously ordered, purchase Michigan books, obtain environmental information, shop at the farm market, purchase raffle tickets to take home a prize and winning amateur photos were chosen by the public. The Historical Train Club was providing train rides for families and the museum was open.”
Attendees had their chance to purchase raffle tickets in hopes of winning one of the 50 prizes that were so graciously donated by directors, friends, family, Ye Old Country Club, Hart Ford, Tractor Supply and the Conservation District; among them were a pickup truck load of firewood, some antique lumbermen tools, electric chain saw, patio umbrella, bird houses and feeders, yard tools, baskets of home-made and/or home grown items, books, framed art, golf package, oil changes and a live banty rooster.
40 photos were submitted this year and were on display for the public to vote on. Over 200 people attended this popular event.
The following photo contest winners were chosen: (award, name, residence of photographer & location photo was taken)
