Fall into the New 2010 - New River Clean up Day
"To all appearances yesterday was a wonderful one--a real feeling of community, enthusiasm and good will. Lots of hard work done on behalf of our beloved river. The County Administration was amazing. "
~Ann Goette
"Estimated over 50 boats, & 150 volunteers all with one kindred spirit. WOW!! I felt like a kid all day." ~Paul Moody
"We also collected the shell of a wrecked fiberglass boat, a gruesome doll head with partial body, a super soaker squirt gun, and a cool little dragon toy."~Dave Yolton
"Approximately 250 tires and 4375 lbs. or 2.2 tons of other debris/trash collected Saturday. - The good news is, there isn’t as much trash out there as there was three years ago." ~ Chris McKlarney
Unusual stuff: a Roanoke Times News Paper dispenser, 3 lawn-mowers, wheel chair, jeep hard-top, and a refridgerator.
