Spring is here and Clean Sweep is right around the corner. This annual event is a hallmark ERC program, shown by the fact that we will be organizing our 21st rendition of the event this year on May 2nd. Cleaning litter from our local streets and parks is not just about helping the community but also helping yourself. Clean Sweep is an easy way to get exercise and have fun spending time outside with friends and family. People who volunteer more tend to be happier so come share some smiles!
Participation is free and very simple. Just meet at a local park on May 2 at 9 a.m. to sign up and get supplies (Ketchum and Sun Valley – Atkinson Park; Hailey – Hop Porter Park; Bellevue – Memorial Park). Fan out to pick up litter in your chosen area until 11:30 a.m., when we meet up to celebrate our good work with a free lunch provided by KB’s in Ketchum or Hailey. During lunch, there will be raffle drawings and team and individual prizes. If you’ve filled multiple bags and kept your eye out for any “Weirdest Items,” you or your team might win an award (costumes count too)! For more details, click here or visit our facebook page.
