LITTLE TOWN
I like to live
in a little town,
Where the trees meet
across the street,
Where you wave your hand
and say "Hello"
to everyone you meet.
I like to stand for a moment ,
outside the Post Office and store,
and listen to the friendly gossip
of the folks who live next door.
For life is interwoven
with the friends we learn to know,
and we hear their joys and sorrows
as we daily come and go,
So I like to live in a little town,
I care no more to roam.
For every house
in a little town is more than a house -
it's a home

Pekin Named Tree City USA
Pekin has been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor
Day Foundation to honor its commitment to community
forestry. The year 2007, marks TWELVE years that Pekin has
received this national recognition.
The Tree City USA Program is sponsored by the National
Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National
Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.
Pekin continues to meet the four necessary standards to
remain a Tree CIty USA: a tree board, a tree care ordinance, a
comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day
observance.
"Trees are a vital component of the infrastructure in our cities
and towns, and provide environmental and economical
benefits," said John Rosenow, President of the National Arbor
Day Foundation. "A community and its citizens, that recognize
these benefits and provide needed care for its trees deserves
recognition and thanks."

So where is Pekin ? We are located
just west of the junction of North Dakota Hwys 1 & 15!
