Earth Day held 4/23/2022
We had an exceptional turn out of over 50 participants, including people from Keenwik, Selbyville, and Baltimore. The Barefoot Gardeners joyfully pitched in and provided great coverage on the beach.
The Town was well represented, and we were able to provide clean up throughout the entire town.
Good weather, camaraderie and a little work. A perfect recipe for an excellent Earth Day celebration
We are grateful to Sea Shell City for the donation of bags, an adorable beach plaque and gift certificate! The prizes were won by Marilyn Simpler. Congratulations!!
Thank you to all that participated!
