Paddock Lake government officials and residents — with a big assist from some Cub Scouts — celebrated trees and Arbor Day on Saturday.
As part of the festivities, the village was recognized as a Tree City USA. This was the 20th year in a row the village has earned this designation.

Here is some video of the planting:
Everyone was able to go home with either a Colorado blue spruce or a white pine sapling.
Here are some more photos:
