Keep Van Buren Beautiful is always appreciate of our efforts down here. You will earn a CITO virtual souvenir for attending this event. Let's go clean it up!
We will meet at Mike Meyers Park at the end of Main Street in Van Buren (posted coords) at 9 a.m. Sign the log, chit chat, swap trackables, grab a trash bag and go. Finish up around 11 a.m.
Here's where the fun part comes in...bring your bicycle if you have one and let's get a ride in while cleaning up the area. It is almost a 4 mile loop from the starting coords to the boat ramp NW of here and back. That would be a great route for those with bicycles. For those without a bike or those just wanting to walk, the area of Mike Meyers park and around the marina would be a good place to clean. And nothing says you can't walk the loop or part of it, folks do it all the time. :D
If you're on your bike it will be a lot of get off bike, get trash, get back on bike, etc. We had so much fun doing this last year.
Keep Van Buren Beautiful will loan us supplies, but bring grabbers and gloves if you have them.
I also recommend sturdy shoes for foot safety due to trash and creepy crawlies. Insect repellant might be a good idea as well.
If this date/time doesn't work for you, there is another event nearby in Spiro, OK on Sept. 24th. Or you can always do both! :D https://coord.info/GC6QE8Z
