The weather improved enough for all ages to gather for the Battle Mountain Band's Environmental Earth Day clean-up. The Earth Day event occurred April, 26 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and started on Allen Road and ended on Old I-80 (in front of the Smoke Shop). Several bags of garbage were filled with litter and disposed of.
Earth Day 2014 T-shirts were supplied by the Environmental Department along with gift boxes for the kids. Several items were raffled while everyone enjoyed a potluck barbecue.
Juan Martinez, the BLM Native liaison, introduced himself, gave a presentation and also handed out items to the children.
Brittany Tybo from ITCN WIC (Women, Infants & Children) enlightened the crowd with details of her program and was available to answer questions.
A good time was had by all and the Environmental Department would like to thank the community members and kids who came out to celebrate Earth Day and participated in making a cleaner environment!
The Band would also like to thank to the local businesses who donated raffle and barbecue items in support of our annual event.[[In-content Ad]]
