This will be a busy weekend with all these things going on in our area and I hope you join me in utilizing the Recycling Extravaganza at Wauconda Township. Additionally, there is a Household Chemical Waste Collection conveniently located at the Wauconda High School. This is a great opportunity to get rid of all those unneeded things. If you are over 55, you can take your pets for an affordable vaccination clinic at the Regent Center. I will be there with my dog. After that I hope to see you at the Beer Festival!

Please drop them in the bin on the front porch. This keeps them out of the landfill and puts them to good use.
