Huge Haul for River Clean Up

      Saturday, April 6—On a chilly morning with water temperature of 48 degress, twenty-four volunteers met at three sites hauling trash from the St. Mary's River between Great Mills and St. Mary's City. The most outstanding item was a red dinosaur wearing a collar and trailing a leash. Again this year, the Budweiser Light beer can was the most prevalent item. Volunteers chided one another on who would take home the mattress. And the most quotable moment of the day came right after the capsizing her canoe when Nancy remarked, "It's now time for the MF word....MORE FUN!"

  • 17 bags of recyclables
  • 11 bags trash
  • 19 tires
  • 980 lbs. large loose trash
  • one mattress
  • dinosaur
  • wallet (no money)
