Lots of Folks Showed Love for Boone County at the 2008 River Sweep!

With over 340 volunteers who worked to remove 30,000 lbs. of garbage from the Ohio riverbanks, Boone County enjoyed the biggest and best River Sweep ever this year!  Of course, this was because of the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our donors.  All of you rule!
