🌎THANK YOU, CITO VOLUNTEERS!🌍

A huge thank you to all of the volunteers and City staff (and Kirk the Bluebird) who spent time this past weekend cleaning up our parks as part of the worldwide Cache In, Trash Out (CITO) event!

Your hard work helped make our parks, waterways, and community a little cleaner and more enjoyable for everyone. We appreciate everyone who came out and gave their time to take care of the places we play! 🌳👏

Some changes have been made for tomorrow’s Cache In, Trash Out (CITO) event for Worldwide Cleanup Day.

The cleanup will now start at 9:00 am at P.C. Mills Park, then move to Spur Pond around 11:00 am.

We still hope to see people tomorrow for a great day to beautify and protect our parks and to learn about geocaching.
