Rain Barrel After Thoughts…

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Well, CMWEA just wrapped up a very successful rain barrel program. This was the group’s first attempt at selling rain barrels and to our surprise there was a huge demand for this service. We hope to continue this program next year, so if you missed this year’s sale check with us again next spring for new details.

Thanks to everyone that participated in this years sale…we hope you enjoy your new rain barrel!
