The main clean-up area will be the re-routed portion of Huron Creek that runs along the north side of Wal-Mart. Myself and others from SWS will be in the north parking lot of Wal-Mart (first side parking lot when you drive in) to pass out garbage bags and gloves. Refreshments will also be provided.
