  What is happening in Greeley?

 In September of 2006, the Greeley PRIDE group invited several guests to share information and resources with the adults and youth at the Greeley Smoke-off—a meat-smoking, tasty event that involved people from all around the community. There was a ground water model and a “live” display of invertebrates from South Pottawatomie Creek, as well as a solar-powered water pump to move water from streams to the A group watches a demonstration of a solar pump in Greeley.livestock.  A “Citizen Science” representative talked about water quality test kits and interpreted results of water sampled for E. Coli bacteria from several sites around Greeley.  In addition, a Stream Model trailer which showed how erosion affects stream banks was brought out by the Miami county conservation district.


Kids learn about invertebrates in Greeley. Greeley’s first public meeting was held October 11, 2006, at Saint John’s Hall. Marilyn Katzer and other PRIDE group members organized and hosted the meeting, which included dinner for everyone who attended. Watch for a local announcement for your next public meeting or other activities you may want to be a part of!
