Residents of Grove City came out en masse to beautify their community – and learn a few tricks of the trade to keep it cleaner and healthier – through two Earth Day events that highlighted the importance of protecting and preserving the local environment. On the morning of April 22, hundreds of people traversed the parks and commercial and residential areas picking up litter found along the side of the road or in the creek beds as a part of the annual Keep Grove City Beautiful Cleanup event and then they traveled over to Town Center Park to partake in educational and enjoyable activities for the entire family at EcoFest. Here, Savannah Polen and her daughter Nash, 2, take a moment to stop and smell a floral arrangement by Kats Cuts Flowers. The Polen family were making their first appearance at EcoFest, which is an annual event presented by the city and Keep Grove City Beautiful that features dozens of agencies, businesses and organizations that promote greener living and environmental education and conservation.
