This year, the Wisconsin River Clean Up AND the Garlic Mustard Festival will take place on the same day, Saturday, May 10, 2008.
We've also moved it to the VFW park in Prairie du Sac.
There are a few reasons for this move--there is a lot of garlic mustard in the area for the contestants in the Garlic Mustard Pull. In addition, we will be working the east bank of the river for the Wisconsin River Clean Up. The Hwy 60 bridge is a bit closer to the VFW than the August Derleth Park. Then there's the parking issue with the soccer fields!
We're also still looking for sponsors! If you'd like to consider becoming one, download this form, and send it in!
