Keeping it Green

LET’S BEAUTIFY!

April 25, 26 and 27 have been set aside this year for Thompson Falls Beautification Days, where elderly and disabled residents living in town will be given a hand with yardwork and volunteers will clean up all over the area. This year’s projects include:

Students from Thompson Falls schools will be picking up litter.

Residential school students will help with cleaning up areas around the courthouse, Old Jail Museum, Oddfellows, Transfer Site, Lions Manor, etc.

Blackfoot Telephone will be trimming trees and providing treats for volunteers.

Volunteers will be pruning roses at the Rose Garden and the long rose hedge and will also spruce up the Community Center and Dog Park, swimming pool park/playground, Wild Goose Landing, Island Park and the Wild Rose Cemetery.

On Saturday, volunteers will assist the Forest Service with cleanup and improvement projects on the Mule Pasture and Powerhouse Loop trails with a barbecue following.

TIRES! Thursday, Saturday and Sunday the Thompson Falls Transfer Site will be taking car tires for $1 and pickup tires for $2. An extra 50 cents will be charged for rims.

PAINT SWAP! There will be a paint swap where you can bring paint in good condition or pick some up! Old, unusable paint should be dried out with lids off and put in regular household garbage.
