Dear All, There will not be regular trash pick up on Christmas Day and then the rest of the week will be delayed one day.  See below for the press release that went out today by DPW for more details.  Also, it will be the same schedule next week for New Year’s Day.  Just a […]

Dear All, Have you been to the “Celebration of Nature” Art Show at the Earth Discovery Center (EDC) in Eagle Creek Park? It ends on Sunday. There is some really great artwork.
