♻️ Bags to Benches Update!

Earlier this year, we partnered with for their Bags to Benches program, and thanks to YOU and all the plastic you dropped off, we earned a new bench for the Wright County Fairgrounds! 🎉

A huge thank you to Whirltronics and everyone who helped make this possible. We’re so grateful for the support and hope to partner again in the future!

That being said, we are no longer collecting plastic at the fairgrounds for the remainder of the year. We hope to bring this program back again, so stay tuned! ♻️💚
