Our objective for this annual event is to both encourage people to “spruce up, clean up, pick up” as well as assist those who are unable to do the work themselves.
The Playground at the Rose Garden Park is major project by the Beautification Days team! A lovely place for visitors to stop, stretch their legs, grab a lunch and enjoy Thompson Falls’s lovely downtown area.
A Little Background on Beautification Days:
It all started with a need for a trash can in the front of the library. The library asked the Chamber to help purchase a new garbage can so visitors had a place to toss garbage before entering the library.
Like flowers begin to grow and bloom each spring, the idea occurred to a group of Thompson Falls residents, that one garbage receptacle could blossom into something more significant – a whole bouquet of programs that work to clean up and beautify the community, which is what is now known as Thompson Falls Beautification Days.
Now, a few years later, headed up by the Thompson Falls Community Development group, a long list of volunteers, organizations, businesses, government agencies and schools work together to clean up the community. It is no longer all about adding garbage cans to fight litter, but the idea has branched off into many different facets including a focused effort to assist town residents with special needs to keep their yards looking great. Other elements include awards and recognition, school art projects, student volunteerism programs, public service, education, special yearly projects and an overall effort to clean out the cobwebs from winter and haul that junk out of town.
Making the Thompson Falls area sparkle each spring is a community wide effort that needs community wide support. Mark your calendar today, dig out your pruning sheers and gardening gloves and sign up for any part of this three day event which takes place April 7 thru 9, 2016
If you just want to drop in because you have time. Meet at the Sanders County Court House at 9 am and check in or find a group already at work and help out. There is always a project you can be assigned to. Bring your gloves and work tools and join the fun.
