2018-06-26 06:16:40 PM kathyhughes It was good for PR
2018-06-26 06:16:40 PM torihardy we did the rocks and our county has a facebook page where they took a picture of the rock posted it and where it was found and then they placed it so you could keep track where it traveled
2018-06-26 06:16:46 PM tealbesing even better Kathy!!
2018-06-26 06:16:47 PM merrinoelpeterson kathy we are thinking of doing that but instead of callling the facility they take a picture of it and post it on facebook and move it to another city that way the residents can watch them travel all over the country
