Good morning Rising Sun!
Here’s what’s happening this week around town.

If you’re looking for a quiet place to take a walk or enjoy the river views, Denver Siekman Park is a great local spot to check out.

The park overlooks the Ohio River and offers open green space, a covered pavilion, and scenic views. There are also grassy trails that make for a really nice walk—and even a bit of a workout if you want it.

Whether you're stopping by for a quick walk or just looking to get outside for a bit, it’s one of those quieter spots that’s easy to overlook—but worth the visit.

🌿 Spring Yard Season is Here — Local Business to Check Out

If you’ve been thinking about cleaning up your yard or freshening up your landscaping, now’s the time.

One local business helping people get ready for spring is Morris Lawn & Landscape here in Rising Sun.

They offer:
• Mulch
• Stone & gravel
• Landscaping services
• Shrubs and select trees

Whether you're adding mulch or planning a bigger landscaping project, It’s a convenient local spot to get started — rain or shine - and a great way to support a hometown business this season.

As the weather warms up, you’ll start seeing more yards come back to life around town 🌱
