Just in time for this weekend s first Somernites Cruise of the season, the Somerset-Pulaski County Clean Sweep is back for the community to put forth our best impression. We are so excited to welcome back car enthusiasts this weekend, but we need to make sure our roads look their best, so the Clean Sweep on Thursday, April 22, is very important this year, said Tammie Nazario of PRIDE, one of the event organizers.
Nazario explained that roadside litter may be more prevalent since COVID restrictions kept local cleanup crews off the roads for most of last year. They are getting back to work now, she said, but volunteers are need to help get this job done before tourism season starts.
