The event, which is organized by the Plainview Lions Club, is

on County Rd. 4, include a Mother's Day Wildflower Card Painting,
a supervised bird feeder building project and a Trout Fishing
Clinic for kids, pioneer games, geocaching, guided tours of
the park, entertainment, Fairie stories and professional family
portraits by Kenai Photography. Lunch is available in the park
and Trout Unlimited will be on hand to show visitors how the
proposed habitat restoration will affect the park.
In Plainview,
the day will kick off with a Pancake & Sausage Breakfast
at the Legion from 7 to 11 a.m., a host of events at the Plainview
Community Center, a plant say at the PEM Ag Deptments greenhouse,
an open house at the Seven Sisters Bed & Breakfast, a fundraiser
at the public Library, a special presentation on Carley State
Park at the Plainview History Center and entertainment at Kim's
Saloon.
The Immanuel
Lutheran Church will once again hold a Women's Expo from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. with a salad bar luncheon starting at 11 a.m.
The event will be located at the church's Christian Life Center.

& Glow Patio Campfire is the raffle prize. The dinner starts
at 5 p.m.
The PEM
German Club will host a Fish Fry and Silent Auction/Raffle on
Saturday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. at the American Legion.
Called
the "Gem of the South", Carley State Park is 300 acres
of winding trails, meadows and woodland. As one posting to Epinons.com
stated, "when we were there on May 12th, the valley was
an explosion of wildflowers and new spring foliage. Bluebells
were everywhere. Trillium, violets and many more make this probably
the best place to see spring wildflowers in Minnesota. That
alone is reasons to visit. I found the walk here to be almost
my fantasy of a bucolic valley in the bloom of Spring."
"We
wanted to share what grows in our own backyard, " said
Joel Eggenberger, the Lions Club events coordinator. "If
you're looking for a way to let Mom know how much you appreciate
her, you should definitely bring your family to Plainview."
