Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913
Pictured is Charlotte Miller who cleaned up the 900 to 1300 block of 2nd Ave. South.
Norm and Kim Girard tackled the clean-up along Highway 2 on April 29. K. Girard wanted to stress when throwing away trash, make sure it's in a bag and the bag is tied. "We have found statements and other personal garbage that had been flown around," she stated. She also reflected on how a local business owner notified her that when they open they take five minutes to clean up around the building because they take pride in the area and the community. "If every business does that, we can keep up and we can all take pride," she stated.
The yearly Valley County Clean Up event was held this past weekend, April 29 through May 1, and Mother Nature cooperated in allowing sunshine and clear skies to bring the community out and clean up. The event, which was originally scheduled April 22 through 24, was postponed due to inclement weather.
Free maps and supplies were available at the Chamber/Two Rivers office and prizes donated by local businesses were drawn for those who returned their map or submitted a before and after photo of the area they enhanced.
This year, the City of Glasgow provided containers in the former Shopko parking lot for the collection of household and non-household garbage, except for tires.
Due to the beautiful spring weather expected this week, the City is extending the use of those containers through the week.
