Thanks to all Garner State Park visitors for recycling and to all our park hosts for collecting aluminum cans this past spring and summer.  What a difference you have made for the park's beauty and for Friends of Garner's fundraiser.  Here is the result of all your dedication.  Just waiting for help to bale and for the price of aluminum to be at its best for these days and times.
