“It may not feel like it now, but warmer days are ahead! Book a picnic shelter for your group event or gathering this spring, summer, or fall.”

“From rechargeable toothbrushes to remote control toys, battery-powered devices are everywhere. Please remember: don’t toss your dead batteries or battery-powered items into your home trash or recycling (this could start a fire)”

“Instead of getting rid of burned out holiday lights, try repairing them. A simple fix can save money and reduce the need to manufacture new string lights”
