Crete Rotary Club members, with family members and friends, completed annual service activities at the Saline County Fair, including helping with entry wristbands and serving in the beer garden at the Figure 8 Races Thursday evening, July 16, and recycling collection Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings.
Each year for the county fair Club members place recycle barrels during three evenings of major events including the races, concert, rodeo, and Crete Volunteer Fire and Rescue BBQ and beer garden. Each morning members sort aluminum cans and plastic bottles for recycling. Member even take a good look into trash barrels in search of more recyclables.
This year members filled 6 large garbage bags with plastic bottles and 19 bags of aluminum cans.
Club members congratulate the Saline County Ag Society members and their volunteers on another great fair season and thanks for giving Rotary the opportunity to complete these service projects.
