ROSCOMMON – The Crawford-Roscommon Conservation District joined the Farm Market at the AuSable River Center in Roscommon for their Annual Conservation Expo on Sept. 25th.
People stopping by could pick up their tree seedlings they previously ordered, along with native plant bulbs. They could obtain environmental information while discussing their property with the technical staff, purchase native plants, shop at the farm market, purchase raffle tickets to take home a prize and winning amateur photos were chosen by the public.
Attendees had a chance to purchase raffle tickets in hopes of winning one of the 40 prizes that were so graciously donated by directors, friends, family and the conservation district. Among the prizes were a pickup truck load of firewood, some antique lumberman tools, bird houses & feeders, along with various books and works of art. There was also a selection of pudding stones and hand-crafted items.
Forty-six photos were submitted this year and were on display for the public to vote on. Over 200 people attended this popular event.
