The Cherryville Artisans are hosting their 10th annual community cleanup along Highway 6 to celebrate Earth Day, April 22.
“People can pick up garbage along the highway and bring it down to the shop or start at the shop as I will have coffee on, some snacks, and I have lots of garbage bags to hand out,” said Helen Kovacs with the Cherryville Artisans.
A highway’s crew from Argo will haul away the debris and garbage collected that afternoon.
“The event is to raise awareness of our community and the need to keep it clean and green,” said Kovacs.
The event coincides with the opening of the Cherryville Artisans’ Shop, which features locally made art work from glass art, handmade glass beads, jewelry to painting, sculpture, weaving and more.
The Earth Day event goes from 9:30 a.m. to noon, April 22 starting at the Cherryville Artisans’ Shop, 1187 Highway 6, Cherryville.
The shop will be open from April 22 to June 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday to Monday, or by appointment anytime. Call (250) 547-0020 or visit cherryvilleartisans.com for more information.
