We're probably going to have a tree planted during the course of the day, but this event is planned as a daylong affair that should offer something for all of our citizens.

We're doing it from city limit to city limit, and we're getting a lot more compliments than complaints.

Horn Lake is a Tree City USA city, and we're proud of our trees. We wanted to hold something that would encourage our citizens to get out and have a fun day in the park while also celebrating our regular Arbor Day observance.

We had to take out an $800,000 tax anticipation loan last year when the taxes were not paid on time and we may have to do something like that again.

My rules are simple. Treat everyone fairly. Treat everyone with respect.
