Trees planted in Eagles Park
An annual spring tradition, the City of Sleepy Eye’s observance of Arbor Day by planting trees in city parks, took place on April 29. Fourth graders from St. Mary’s and Public School, along with the students from Grace Lutheran, took part in the event at Eagles Park, where hackberry and elm trees were planted. SouthPoint Financial Credit Union helped sponsor the event, giving each student a tree to plant at home. The Parks Department provided the trees and cookies and water for the kids. According to a piece in Out of the Past, this was the 43rd year Sleepy Eye participated as a Tree City USA.

If you thought there were a lot of teenagers driving around in shiny cars wearing their fanciest duds on Saturday night, May 3, that’s because both Sleepy Eye High School and St. Mary’s High School held their Proms that night. And no, it wasn’t “Meet Me in Paris.”
