Beautification Days 2023

---

Thompson Falls Beautification Days is a community wide collaboration. We  hope you will contribute some of your time on these dates or any other dates to help make Thompson Falls a cleaner and more beautiful place in which to live. We are "Better Together!"

Don't leave the volunteer work to others, or it might not get done! Your help is needed and appreciated.   

Kathy Conlin has stepped down from her role as the Beatification Days Committee Chair. Kathy has served the community in that position for many years. Please take time to thank her the next time you see her! The committee is now looking for someone who is committee to this cause and has time to lead this committee. Free training is provided!

It all started with a need for a trash can in the front of the  library. The library asked the Chamber to help purchase a new garbage  can so visitors had a place to toss garbage before entering the library.     

Like flowers begin to grow and bloom each spring, the idea occurred to a  group of Thompson Falls residents, that one garbage receptacle could  blossom into something more significant – a whole bouquet of programs  that work to clean up and beautify the community, which is what is now  known as Thompson Falls Beautification Days.  

Now, a few years later, headed up by the Thompson Falls Main Street group, a long list of volunteers, organizations, businesses,  government agencies and schools work together to clean up the  community. It is no longer all about adding garbage cans to fight litter, but the idea has branched off into many different facets  including a focused effort to assist town residents with special needs  to keep their yards looking great. Other elements include awards and recognition, school art projects, student volunteerism programs, public  service, education, special yearly projects and an overall effort to  clean out the cobwebs from winter and haul that junk out of town.  

Making the Thompson Falls area sparkle each spring is a community wide  effort that needs community wide support. Mark your calendar today, dig  out your pruning shears and gardening gloves and sign up for this three  day event which takes place usually the 3rd week in April of every year.
