Youth Dig in to Help Clean Up
The Meagher County 4-H Council and the Stevens Youth Center joined forces to clean up the Rodeo Grounds and a neighbor’s yard in connection with the Meagher County Community Foundation Cleanup Grants. Thirty volunteers from the two organizations spent four hours in the drizzling rain picking up trash and clearing a neighbor’s yard of unwanted items that had accumulated over the years. Altogether four truckloads of garbage were taken to the dump. The two groups received a total of $500 for their efforts. The 4-H Council will be using their portion of the funds to help defer the cost of ribbons, trophies and other awards associated with the 4-H Indoor and Outdoor Fairs. The Fairs will take place on Saturday, August 9, 2008. The Stevens Youth Center will use their portion of the funds to bring in visiting artists for summer workshops, open to all ages.
