Messages, fossils
Chad Pregracke’s Message in a Bottle Collection continues to be on exhibit at Minnetrista in Muncie through Sept. 30.
The exhibit showcases messages found in bottles along U.S. shores and was put together by Pregracke, who is founder and president of Living Lands and Waters.
Pegracke will speak on the role of clean water in our communities Aug. 25 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. The event is open to the public at no charge. He was named CNN’s 2013 Hero of the Year for his river clean-up efforts.
