Are you tired of all the plastic that we use and then just throw away? Many of us know all about recycling our plastic bottles and containers, but what about all of the plastic that surrounds the items we buy. Trex uses all those plastic items to create durable items.

We would like to thank you for participating in our 4-H Clover Dash fundraiser. Congratulations to all participants who crossed the finish line running or walking! A special shout out to our top runners this year! Great job everyone! 

Additionally, thank you for your many purchases on the silent auction, making it one of our best years yet. The funds raised from this event go to support programming and scholarships for the roughly 500 youth members of Anoka County 4-H.
