Litter free Keg Lane, thanks to PHS volunteers

It’s not by chance that Paris’ roads are beautifully kept, free of garbage. It’s because of volunteers like Paris Horticultural Society members who participate in the Adopt a Road program. Last Saturday morning, despite the intense heat, members were seen walking along Keg Lane, weaving in and out of the ditches to pick up litter. Many hands made for light work and the job was done quickly. They collected about 10 bags of garbage. A special thanks to Brenda Simpson, Marlene Harrison, Pat Moore, Edith Stone, Tricia Cressman, Denise Hamill. And Nancy Burkholder (who is absent from the photo).
