Lots of Folks Showed Love for Boone County at the 2010 River Sweep!

We had over 125 volunteers who worked to remove 20,000 lbs. of garbage from the Ohio riverbanks. The day started out with rain but ended beautifully! We found all kinds of crazy tings on the riverbank like a message in a bottle, a bowling ball, a horse skull, and a soccer ball. Our volunteers and donors rule!
