Seven minutes, with some discussion about trucks
and irrigation of row crops on a liquid waste application site.
There was no special presentation, not about
the Westside Archives,
nor about anything else.
They did mention this morning’s Earth Day event again,
and added a little bit of detail.
Here’s
the agenda with a few notes, and links into the video.

11AM this morning the County will plant three hardwood trees
where the Annex was at the historic Lowndes County Courthouse.
At the
9 April 2013 Regular Session,
The Chairman announced that at 11AM on Earth Day, Monday 22 April 2013,
over at the historical Courthouse square,
Lowndes County Board of Commissioners and Lowndes County Public Works Department
will plant three trees that are native to south Georgia
in celebrating a three-day free-to-the-public electronic recycling event.
The public is welcome.
And I’d like to also recognize at this time special thanks to Advanced Disposal
and Yancey Caterpillar for helping with the funding of this event.What we’re doing is at the request of the Committee for the Preservation
of the Courthouse.
The scene around the Courthouse as you see it now
the Annex has come off.
There is sod down at this point.
We’re going to add three more trees on that, which would be the north side
of the Courthouse.
It would be three different species of hardwood trees.
And when that is completed, we should have a sample of each hardwood
tree that is representative of south Georgia around the perimeter of the
Courthouse.So it’s going to be really nice, and it will still allow us to
be able to use that green space and all right there for some events and such as that,
for Farm Days and what have you.
So if you do have it, put it on your calendar, take the opportunity to come
out and enjoy the morning with us as we plant those three trees.
There’s no press release about this on the Lowndes County website.
Buried in
their calendar there is this blurb: Continue reading
It’s a food festival Saturday in Valdosta!
Before, after, or during stocking up on local food at
Valdosta Farm Days at the historic Lowndes County Courthouse,
you can mosey up Patterson Street to Drexel Park for lunch, music, fun, and
education at Earth Day!
Drive, bike, or even walk; it’s only a little more than a mile.
