Spring Cleaning, ... Whitefish Style

"Clean The Fish" was a great success. The turnout was fantastic and judging by the number of full trash bags lining the roads around town, I'd say Whitefish is much cleaner because of it.

Not only did they clean the roads of Whitefish, they also cleaned City Beach above and below the water. Robert Hanson and members of The Flathead County Dive Team (associated with the Flathead County Sheriffs Office) donned the full SCUBA gear, complete with cold suits, and cleared the swimming area and beyond of cans, bottles, broken glass and anything else that might be hazardous to City Beach dwellers this summer.

Dave Stephens and Tim Healy, a couple of local volunteers from Whitefish Lake Services, came up with a mesh sack of assorted trash, a large chunk of rope and a metal pipe about 4 feet long. I wonder how THAT got down there.

With well over a hundred volunteers, I have to say that "Clean The Fish" really gets the community together, both above and below the water.


See you at the (cleaner) City Beach.
