Hello Fall. Every year, you take me by surprise. Do you know what else marks September? The Bloom celebrates its Five Year Anniversary! The celebration has already begun and will continue through September. If you are a monthly donor of $10 or more, expect some free merch from The Bloom in the mail in the next few weeks. Also, The Bloom will be at the Pear Festival to give away even more free merchandise. The point is, we want to celebrate with you!
What else is up? Well, the Lake County Fair, of course! Pick a day, go every day, but go to the fair and show your support. The fair is a Lake County tradition that’s so important to our community. But first, catch up with a short history of The Bloom, then learn about CLERC, the Clear Lake Environmental Research Center. Kathleen Scavone shares about it and their local ongoing environmental projects and programs. Plus, you can read our third-place-winning poem from our recent Poetry of the Outliers competition. After that, you’ll have time to read everything else that’s new in The Bloom. And see you at the fair! Have a great weekend, Lake County.
