Litter Cleanup Trophies

Despite falling on the same day as Chamber of Commerce's Great Race, and county conventions for Republicans and Democrats state-wide, Keep Lewisville Beautiful had a successful city-wide cleanup Saturday with over 300 participants.
Lewisville Texan Journal had another team entered in this year's event, with several of our readers and contributors joining us to pick up trash. Once again, we were assigned to clean up some illegal dumping and litter at the Fox Hembry Cemetery. Even though we had a much smaller team than in the past, the sheer volume of dumping we picked up gave us the first place trophy for "Large Group".
The huge jacuzzi tub full of rancid garbage that we found was this year's "most unusual". Last year, I think somebody found a mannequin head.
Anyhow, we don't do this for the trophies, but I'm so appreciative of the folks who volunteered with us on Saturday that I wanted to share this.
Thanks to TexasMama and her husband, Barry Minoff, Jim Collier, and Seth Southwell. Councilman T.J. Gilmore helped out at cleanup H.Q., and Mayor Dean Ueckert was also on-hand.
So... Can we now say "The Award-winning Lewisville Texan Journal?" ;) |
