It’s a 5k with an egg hunt built in! Join us at Eggstravaganza for our new race!

We will award prizes for the overall fastest male and female times in each age group! $25 early registration fee includes chip timing and tech fabric shirt.

Cornus Sericea PlantPlant of the Month: Cornus Sericea

(C. stolonifera)
Red Twig Dogwood, Red Osier Dogwood
Where:  Perrigo Park, Sunset Gardens Park, Cascade View Park
This fast-growing, native shrub stands out in winter with its bright red stem color.  It’s branches, flowers, and berries provide food and habitat for birds, butterflies, and small mammals throughout the year.  Annually removing about 1/3 of the oldest stems helps stimulate the growth of new, younger stems  which have the best color.
