The Town of Silver City is co-sponsoring the annual Earth Day celebration in Penny Park on April 24th from 10-2. This year will be the 40th anniversary of Earth Day so there are several special events planned including planting a tree to replace some of those destroyed by last year's fire, creating a time capsule holding notes from any and all and burying it under a rosemary bush.

There will be various music and dance performers in the amphitheater throughout the day. There will be a trivial pursuit raffle at 11, noon and 1. Just visit the information booths and answer the Earth Day trivial pursuit questions to enter the raffle for free prizes donated by vendors. Also this year will be the first annual electronic waste collection event and a regular recycling drive held just north of Penny Park at 1311 N. Grant.

For more information email scearthday@gmail.com or call 534-4389. It should be a fun and interactive day for everyone that attends.
