Volunteers will take to the river Saturday, April 26, to pick up trash between East LaPorte and Barkers Creek. Registration for Western Carolina University's 19th annual Tuckaseigee River Cleanup will be at 11 a.m. Saturday on the Hinds University Center lawn. Volunteers will have the option of working from a raft or from the riverbank; no rafting experience is required.
Participants should wear old clothing and bring gloves to protect their hands. After the cleanup, a free cookout will be held for volunteers. Drawings will be held for a variety of prizes, including a mountain bike, donated by area merchants. All volunteers will receive a free T-shirt commemorating the event. For more information, call Last Minute Productions at 227-7206.
