(Courtesy)A family friendly Earth Day celebration and clean up event is in the works in Fayetteville.
Fayetteville Parks & Recreation is planning a city-wide cleanup of city parks, lakes, streams, trails, and streets this year on Saturday, April 22.
The event will begin with a kickoff event featuring a proclamation by Mayor Lioneld Jordan, coffee, and bagels at around 10 a.m. at the Marion Orton Recycling Center (735 W. North Street).
