Please join us as Ohio Canal Corridor celebrates 22 years of Ohio’s largest done-in-a-day cleanup effort. Over the course of our 22+ years, we have recruited local businesses, corporations, and even individuals for contributions and volunteer teams to support this cause. This year the event will be held on Saturday, May 7th from 9 am until noon- volunteers receive gloves and bags. First 1,000 volunteers to sign up will receive a commemorative Buddha Frog t-shirt designed by George Cogill. Don’t forget to join us at the luncheon after the event from noon to 2 pm at the Rivergate Room located in the Power House on the West Bank of the Flats.
