Conover, NC – It’s time again to help Keep Catawba County Beautiful as part of Litter Sweep, a statewide initiative organized twice a year by the North Carolina
Department of Transportation.
Volunteers are invited to help beautify the community by removing litter from our roadways at an event this month hosted by the City of Conover.
The City of Conover’s event will be held Saturday, April 17 at Conover City Park, located at 361 5th Ave SE in Conover, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Volunteers are asked to meet at the park’s shelter between 8:30-9:00 a.m. to pick up supplies and a map.
