Watershed tour returns in July

The 2016 Indian Creek Watershed Tour takes place July 13 once again based in Fairbury.

Registration begins at 3 p.m. with the tour departing from the First Baptist Church at 3:30. Two tours will be given in the afternoon before returning to the church for an evening meal and additional presentations.
