Earth Day Celebration & Litter Pick Up at the Clarke County Ruritan Fairgrounds (890 W. Main St., Berryville) is a FREE event hosted by the Clarke County Litter Committee. After welcoming remarks from county and committee leaders, everyone will disperse to pick up litter in designated areas across the county, including the fairgrounds, Chet Hobert Park, and Rose Hill Park. Return to the fairgrounds by noon for refreshments, pizza, and a glass-crushing demonstration by Christi McMullen, who voluntarily initiated the county's glass recycling program in 2022. Participants will also receive gift bags from the Litter Committee. Local non-profit organizations are invited to set up informational tables at the fairgrounds on April 20. Organizations, groups, and individuals who want to participate or need more information should contact the Clarke County Litter Committee at 540-955-5132 or litterfree@clarkecounty.gov.
