3rd Annual Cleanup Day—April 25

Warm weather is again exposing the earth, along with all the debris that has accumulated over the winter months. Spring is cleanup time and the third annual Cleanup Day is set for April 25th.

Since we started Community Clean-Up Day three years ago, many of the miles between Emerald Creek Garnet Mine and the far side of Emida have been ADOPTED. That is so exciting! However we do still have many miles to spruce up to make our community sparkle after a long winter.

Beth Halvorsen will be coordinating volunteers for this effort. Please call 245-6726 to claim a mile or find out where you could be helpful. She will be getting the orange garbage bags and disposable safety vests for all volunteers to have whether you have adopted a mile or are helping with unclaimed miles.

Large Highway Safety Signs will also be set-up along the highway from 8:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
To set this all off, Ron Halvorsen Insurance is sponsoring a coloring contest at UpRiver School. There will be three age groups and the winner in each group will win a $15.00 gift certificate.

This is a great day for those who have adopted highway miles to join others who are cleaning the unclaimed miles in making a clean sweep of the area. We will have fun and camaraderie while improving our scenic byways. Join your friends and neighbors in restoring the beauty of our community on the last Saturday of April.

Thank you all in advance.
