Love Turlock, the annual day of community service, brought more than 700 people out to work on about 70 projects throughout the city Saturday. This is the fourth year Turlock has taken part in the “Love” movement, which encourages volunteerism and improvement projects. Love Turlock Team Leader Craig Brooks said that each year, the event has grown. “People are coming back year after year to do this and get energized by taking part.”
