In case you didn’t see, our fantastic group of volunteers from the Knott County Drug Court made the front page of the paper this week! The Drug Court was our cleanup MVP of this past cleanup. This group jumped in the creek without hesitation and worked hard to remove a lot of trash and debris from Troublesome Creek. If you have a group that is interested in participating in a cleanup please let us know.
