The Intermountain Conservation District will be amalgamating with the Turtle River Watershed Conservation District next year making this past weekend’s annual banquet its last.
“Since it’s the last year of Intermountain Conservation District before we change to a watershed district we’re just trying to celebrate the past as well and just give everyone a taste of the future of what it’s going to be like in 2020.”
But Jeff Thiele, the manager of Intermountain, says this kind of event will keep going into the future.
“We haven’t really got to those details with the Turtle River Conservation District, but yes, maybe we’ll need a bigger hall next year for a bigger party.”
This year’s Conservation District Family was the Welland family, from Garland. They also celebrated several long term members if the conservation district.
This year’s banquet was held in Garland, which is just north of Ethelbert.
Intermountain and Turtle River are amalgamating on January 1st, 2020 creating the Inter-Mountain Watershed District.
