When: Saturday, May 16, 8:45am - 11:00am (rain date, May 30)
Where: Bluebird Shelter, F. W. Kent Park; 2048 US-6 NW, Oxford, IA 52322 

Staff Councilors, family, and friends are invited to join the Community Outreach Committee at Kent Park for our Spring Highway Cleanup on May 16. We will kick off the morning with breakfast pizza and donuts, and send you home after with a few delicious treats as a thank you! 

The Adopt-a-Highway program helps reduce litter along highways, enhance the environment, beautify roadsides, and build community support for anti-litter and highway beautification programs. Caring for roadsides not only makes them more attractive to the traveling public but also improves our environment.

Help us keep our environment clean and safe, and have some fun too!
