PROCEEDS OF TURTLE DAYS ASSOCIATION EVENTS SUPPORT THE CHURUBUSCO TOWN PARK Turtle Days 2007 was a success! We were able to donate $1000.00 to our town park. A little known fact is that Turtle Days was created to help maintain our park system. So remember while you are supporting Turtle Days you are also helping to support our park.
The Turtle Days Association was able to present the Churubusco Park Board a donation from 2008 proceeds in the amount of $2,000.00 at the Churubusco Chamber of Commerce's Picnic in the Park held August 23, 2008.
