about water issues facing the area, see what's going on in Washington
Park to improve water quality, and find out what local residents can do
to help, as well as enjoy ing activities, goodies, and refreshments.
The event will offer attendees a turn-of-the-season opportunity to enjoy
a last outdoor summer event while acquiring general environmental information
and enjoying Washington Park's extensive attractions.
