Steve Rainey of Ron's Foodliner has tentatively agreed to take responsibility for rental of the Plaza and organizing the parade. The Chu Chu Club has tentatively agreed to take care of clean-up. The CofC has tentatively agreed to collect the money for the fireworks and work with the Ajo Gibson Volunteer Fire Department to arrange for permits for the fireworks display. The program begins at 8 a.m. with groups getting their free trash bags and area assignments on the steps of Curley School. From 8 a.m. to noon groups will be picking up litter and trash and chopping weeds that are an eyesore.
Organizers caution that the idea is to bag trash and litter that is manageable.
Anything risking health and safety should be avoided. They urge participants to bring hoes, shovels, and rakes, to wear gloves, hats and suncreen, and to carry water to drink. The Boy Scouts will be collecting trash bags from the roadside to save pickers trips to Walker Park. Final collection, counting of bags, and awarding of prizes will be done between noon and 1 p.m. at Bud Walker Park. Between 1 and 3 p.m. will be picnic time at Bud Walker Park.
