This Saturday is Earth Day, and the Cape Girardeau Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting its annual Friends of the Parks Day and Great Cape Cleanup. Parks Division Manager, Brock Davis, says they’ll be beautifying the entire city, come rain or shine.
Brock explained, “Our central location is Capaha Park; that’s where a lot of our projects will be hosted. We do projects on Broadway, downtown, we’ll be scattered all the way to the Jaycee golf course, the Osage Center, Cape Splash, pretty much all over.”
Volunteers can expect to pick up trash, clean up scattered debris from previous storms, and plant flowers. A hot dog lunch will be provided for all volunteers, and those who arrive early will receive a free t-shirt. The cleanup starts at 9 a.m.
Registration begins at 8:30 the day of, or call the Parks and Recreation Department at (573) 339-6340.
