Saturday, Oct. 1, is Caring For Our Community Day in Maggie Valley.

Teams of volunteers, along with the town’s public works department, will clean up trash along the roadsides in Maggie Valley, along Highway 19 from Ghost Town to the traffic light at Maggie Valley Inn & Conference Center and along the islands down Highway 276 to Jonathan Valley School. Clean up hours will be from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The town will provide gloves, stab sticks, trash bags and safety vests. Teams will gather at Town Hall at 9 a.m. to receive their area for clean up. Light refreshments will be served.

If you would like to organize a team of four to eight people, contact Jena at 828.926.1686 or Karen at 828.926.0866.
