Boone River Cleanup on Aug. 11

Sixty-five community members, including  ISU Alums, Rotarians, and Extension Council members participated in the Boone River Clean-Up. In a 4.6 mile stretch from Riverside Park in Webster City to Briggs Wood Park, volunteers extracted and sorted approximately 150 tires, one tone of scrap metal and another large dumpster full of miscellaneous trash. The most notable items were a complete car transmission and a golf bag. More accurate numbers will be available, once we get weights from the land fill. It was one hot and sweaty day.
