It’s that time again to clean up the Arkansas River and surrounding areas before the summer river season begins! Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA) and GARNA are teaming up for the 19th annual Arkansas River Clean Up Green Up on Saturday, May 15. Join fellow volunteers to beautify a section of the river. Register Saturday morning between 8:30-9:30 a.m. at either AHRA at Sackett & G Streets in Salida, in Buena Vista at the Buena Vista River Park on East Main Street or at the Sugarbush Store in Howard. From there, the race is on to scour the river banks and other public lands for unwanted and unsightly trash. After your hard work, enjoy a FREE volunteer picnic on the SteamPlant riverside patio with food, prizes and fun from 12:00-3:00 p.m.
Plan on staying in town for the Salida Police Bike Rodeo, a free bike safety event for children 12 and under, 2:00-4:00 p.m. at Marvin Park. Later, the Cruiser Crit, the entertaining FIBArk fundraiser will take place with a 4:00 p.m. downtown race start and after party. For more information about Clean Up Green Up, please call GARNA at 539-5106.
