S^T~~*\ie annual Fisher Park Spring
/ Cleanup and Oyster roast is just
around the corner, so mark your calendar
now!
Scheduled for March 17 (rain date
is March 24),
this popular
event brought
more than 70.
Fisher Park
neighbors together last year for a successful cleanup of
the park, culminating in a fun-filled oyster
roast and hot dog and hamburger cookout.
This year will be much the same, starting with the cleanup from 9-11 a.m. Then
we'll regroup at 6 p.m. at the bonfire - built
from fallen limbs gathered during the park
cleanup - where we'll roast the oysters.
There's no charge, but if you're planning to
come, call Liz Urquhart at 333-0461 by
March 15 with the number you're bringing.
For information on critical cleanup
areas and what tools to bring, contact Park
Committee Chairperson Angie Leath,
379-9699- And-as always-if you can't
make it to the cleanup, your donation to the
Park Fund works all year to help keep our
beautiful park groomed. **P
