Clean up in Carthage

CARTHAGE -- A clean up was held on May 6 in Carthage by the Webb River Valley ATV Club, and the Dirigo High students and teachers.

Members of the Webb River Valley ATV Club who worked on the cleanup were Philip Hill, Peter Robichaud, Ernest Robichaud, Mike Gordon and Sheila Gordon. Carthage resident Lillian Main took time to help as well.

The adults from the Dirigo High School were Linda Cox, Marianne Archard and Karolyn Buotte.

Dirigo High School students who worked were Marissa Sauer, Ashley Kimball, Cody Houghton, Joey Pelotte, Charles Wilkins, Nicholas Davenport, Justin Jasper, Cody Berryment, Gretchen Bradbury, Trevor Desmond, Ron Haley, Aaron Libby, Silvia Lutick, Alex Snowman, Brett Whittemore, Caleb Homes, Tyler Stone and Justin Dowland.

Thank You to Eddy Pulk for opening the transfer station so the trash could be taken in after the clean up.

After the clean up, the Webb River Valley ATV Club treated everyone to pizza, soda, water and chips.

The Blue Moose General Store and Campground of Carthage gave a discount for the pizza and free ice cream sandwiches for the cleanup crew. That was very nice of them and greatly appreciated!

The ATV club thanks everyone who came out and cleaned up.
