thanks to everyone for supporting Washington County. <br />Text Link <br />Sally Manzara Interpretive Nature Center Fall <br />Fundraiser <br />Mark your calendars: September 20, 4 to 7 p.m. We’re having a Fall <br />Fundraiser for the SMINC. As we come to the end of our fiscal year, <br />we’re putting on one more fundraiser for the center. We’ll have food, <br />games, and crafts for the kids, and music by local musician Colton <br />Warren. Come out, enjoy the hiking and biking trails, have some food <br />and drink, and listen to some fantastic tunes out on our patio. <br />Suggested donation for admission is $5 per person, payable at the <br />event. All profits from ticket and food sales benefit the nature center. <br />Colton Warren is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from <br />the Twin Cities area who embraces a variety of musical styles. In the <br />vein of Jack Johnson and The Lumineers, Colton uses his six-string <br />guitar and rich baritone voice to create music that sounds like waves, <br />whiskey, and wanderlust. Colton also integrates his 12-string guitar <br />into live sets, building an atmospheric sound that is both soothing <br />and vibrant. Whatever the instrument, his songs are crafted to <br />inspire listeners in their own creativity. <br />Sally Manzara Interpretive Nature Center <br />Inspire Your Community by Becoming a Recycling <br />Ambassador <br />Recycling Ambassadors take a six-week training program to learn <br />more about food waste, composting, environmental health, waste <br />systems, and general recycling.
