Citizens and City Cooperate on Public Event

Thought you might like a sample of the efforts for the Guyandotte cleanup in preparation for Swine Fest.

The materials provided by REAP, litter-sticks, gloves, and bags were a big asset in the successful cleanup. Around 100 people were involved and they worked in spite of the rain. Pictured are a student group and a fraternity from Marshall.

The City of Huntington employees were great and really took the job seriously. It was encouraging to see everyone working together for a great community cause. Thanks to the Mayor and Chuck Cornett there were 2 dumpsters which got filled and an end loader that made dumping volumes of trash into the dumpsters possible.

There was assistance also from the Day Report Center and those 4 guys worked very hard. I don't know how to contact them but if you can, tell them a big "Thank You".
