SUMMARY:Junction Creek Festival and Trout Release
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe Annual Junction Creek Festival &amp\; Trout Release w
 ill be held on  from 12-3pm at Twin Forks Park\, with the opening ceremon
 y starting at 12pm by the creek. This beloved community celebration honors
  the revival of Junction Creek\, return of life to the watershed\, the ded
 icated stewards who make it all possible\, and the inspiration of hope for
  future possibilities.\n\nCome celebrate with us! With an optional pay-wha
 t-you-can donation\, take part in an afternoon of outdoor fun and connect 
 with nature. The festival features interactive displays\, community booths
 \, games\, and the highlight of the day\, the joyful release of brook trou
 t into the creek. Stop by the BBQ for food and drinks\, available at budge
 t-friendly prices (cash-only). Don’t forget to bring your reusable water
  bottle to help reduce waste.\n\nThis year’s festival will be especially
  meaningful as we honor the late Dr. Jane Goodall\, who attended the festi
 val and trout release in 2002. A special ceremony and relief sculpture wil
 l be unveiled to celebrate her legacy and inspire continued environmental 
 stewardship.\n\nIn the weeks leading up to the festival\, local businesses
 \, volunteer groups\, and schools will come together for creek cleanups\, 
 Sponsor-a-Fish Workplace Challenge\, and a youth Trout Message Campaign. T
 hese hands-on activities help build environmental awareness and offer mean
 ingful ways for the community to get involved in this important initiative
