Area Water Festivals a Huge Success!
The Lower Sauk River Water Festivals Planning Committee would like to send a huge thank you out to the sponsors of the 2009 water festivals. Two festivals were held this fall including the Three Rivers WaterFest on September 23 and the Lower Sauk River Water Festival on September 24. These largely successful events would be impossible without the help of the sponsors listed below.
The purpose of the festivals was to teach over 850 central Minnesota fourth grade students about water; 1) what it is and how it fits into the hydrologic cycle, 2) its importance to all life, 3) how it relates to other natural resources, and 4) how human activities affect water quality and quantity. Students attended eight learning stations during the course of the day. They played educational games, interacted with hands-on activities, made giant bubbles and participated in many other fun events, all while learning about our most valuable resource – water!
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the following sponsors:
Ø City of St. Cloud
Ø City of Waite Park
Ø City of St. Joseph
Ø Sauk River Watershed District
Ø City of Sartell
Ø Anderson Trucking
Ø Marco Business Products

Ø St. Cloud Surgical Center
Ø Kay and Neil Cook

With the help of committed organizations such as those listed above, the annual Lower Sauk River Water Festival will continue to help educate our area’s youth in years to come.
