Introducing "Savin' a Rainy Day."
Come see the “Renewable Art” exhibit this summer in
downtown Marengo, featuring unique rain barrels that can be used to
collect rainwater in your own back yard. Reduce your water bill and
enjoy fresh rainwater on your grass and garden.
Renewable because plastic food
containers are recycled used as a unique
canvas and as rainwater harvesting containers, rather than thrown in
a landfill.
Renewable because, rain barrels
spare a portion of the water drawn through the
municipal water system, helping to protect our local ground water.
Renewable because, harvesting
rainwater is a money saving option for watering your lawn and
garden, in addition to uses like washing your vehicles and pets.
Renewable because it will provide an
attraction for visitors and improve enthusiasm in downtown Marengo.
Renewable because the barrels will
be auctioned at the end of summer to raise funds in support of
Marengo’s Downtown Business District revitalization and for Marengo
Main Street, Inc.
On display in downtown Marengo July 17 - October 9, 2010
