appreciate the help!

Upcoming Events

Downtown Clean-up Day
We need as many volunteers as is humanly possible to
get our town clean and ready for the Youth Park Parade on June
7th. People come from all over for our Youth Park BBQ and we
want Forestville clean of trash and weeds in time for the event.
We will clean and weed the entire parade route! And if we get enough volunteers, we'd like to clean down to the Forestville School parking lot as well.
We'll need pick-up trucks to gather trash and recylables since the dumpster didn't work last year (they showed up late then picked it up late so it got filled by people with personal trash rather than town trash).
Please encourage everyone you know to bring tools, gloves, and energy starting at 10am on May 17th. This is a 100% volunteer event and we need help! The chamber will supply trash bags and bottled water.
When: 10am

Annual Youth Park BBQ and Carnival
The Forestville Youth Park is one of the only parks west of the Rockies that

out and have fun and support your community park! If you would like to
help for a few hours please call Pat at 575-3484.
