The annual Spring Cleanup and Community Barbecue this Saturday. Residents were invited to join Ward Captains and city officials in each of the city’s seven wards to help prepare the city for the spring and summer by planting flowers, weeding open spaces, and otherwise cleaning our community following the long winter months. Refreshments, t-shirts, and hats were be provided to all participants from 10 a.m. to noon at all cleanup locations and all participants were invited to a community barbecue and SomerGreen Festival, immediately following the cleanup from noon to 2 p.m. at the Blessing of the Bay Boathouse on Shore Drive.
