Leaf Raking: 40 people helped for two weekend rakings where they filled 6 chopper wagons of mulch.
The benefits of the annual event, besides fresh air, vigorous exercise, and fellowship will come with the first snowfall and in the spring with more wildflowers and grass. The chopped leaves end up as cattle bedding and field mulch.
