Erin Bratten and her son Jax (pictured) cleaned the ditch from Sullivan Park to Prairie House Gardens during Valley County Clean Up, which ended April 21, Earth Day. He took advantage of Prairie House Garden's sponsorship in trash collection from the Coca-Cola plant to Sullivan Park for $5 cash per bag.
Members of the Siding 45 committee and supporters filled three pick-up beds with trash from the hills behind Northern Heights on April 21. Pictured from left to right are Tess Fahlgren, Matt Austin, Mark Berger, Madelyn House, daughter Maggie, Travis Young, Karen Breigenzer, Hollie Young, Andy Fahlgren and Randon Stormer. Not pictured but who also helped were: McKenna Clements-Johnson, Soji Clements-Dix and Johanna Vasseur.
Two Rivers Economic Growth hosted Valley County Clean-Up week which ended April 21, inviting the entire county to get out and clean up their community. Though the weather was not very inviting to get out and clean, the wind certainly helped make the clean up process a little easier by exposing the garbage that had accumulated in ditches, grass lands and parks.
Prairie House Gardens generously sponsored trash collection from the Coca-Cola plant to Sullivan Park for $5 cash per bag, and Jax Braaten didn't think twice on cashing in on the opportunity.
"It's fantastic to see businesses in Valley County coming together to support initiatives like Clean Up Week. Community events like this not only contribute to the beautification of the area but also foster a sense of pride and camaraderie among residents," stated office manager of Two Rivers Economic Growth Shyanne Wallace. "A big shoutout to Prairie House Gardens for incentivizing cleanup efforts with cash prizes."
The following participants were awarded prizes from area businesses for helping to clean up their community:
Jax Braaten: Cottonwood Pool Party
Hadley Flaten: Eugene's Gift Certificate and Hat
Karen Breigenzer: Scottie Money Clip and Key Chain, courtesy of Baker's Jewelry
Randon Stormer: Outdoor lights and Hats, courtesy of Valley Builders Glasgow
Tess Fahlgren: Robyn's Nest gift bag
Hudson Flaten: D&G Gift Certificate
Prizes can be claimed at the Two Rivers Economic Growth office.
