Main Street Clean-Up - Part 2

Wednesday - June 23: The Main Street Clean-Up Committee, also known as Jeff's Bucket Brigade, met this evening in Village Hall. Directing the clean-up efforts is Jeff Haugh.

The clean-up is scheduled to take place this coming Saturday morning, June 26. All those participating are asked to meet at the 4th St. Square near the Gazebo at 8 A.M. Anyone who can is asked to bring shovels, brooms, their own work gloves and weed whackers, especially week whackers. Anyone wishing to loan any of this equipment is asked to contact Jeff or Susie Haugh.

The target area for this cleaning effort is the Main St. business district from 3rd to 9th St. Haugh advised this is only the initial effort with other locations in the Village being considered.

Dailey's Refuse has offered the use of a 30 cubic foot dumpster at no charge to aid in the clean up efforts. Any owners of store front property are welcome to dispose of unwanted items. Sorry, no tires, car batteries, paint or other hazardous waste will be accepted. The dumpster will be located between 4th & 5th Sts. and available until 5 P.M.

The ladies of the Alley Cat Aid Brigade will be on hand to serve hot dogs and cold drinks to any of the workers. Air Waves "Disco Lonnie Hentzell" will be on hand spinning the tunes for some entertainment.

Haugh said they are looking at trimming weeds, cleaning up any debris and will even wash windows in any of the stores or any other commercial properties if requested. Some painting may be done on the curves and designated handicapped parking spaces. Any one with questions, suggestions or requests are asked to contact Jeff or Susie Haugh at 330-532-5762.

The goal of the efforts is to improve the attractiveness to encourage people to do business in Wellsville. Councilwoman Sue Haugh said she "would love to see pride kick in with others seeing what is being done and saying let's do our block".

See you Saturday...
