It was a very nice and sunny day in Vernonia on Saturday. Some of the events that were happening were Vernonia Clean-up Day and Open House at the Fire Department. It is nice to live in a small town, where you can see many people give their time and effort for others and the town. As I wandered around town, I caught several people giving of themselves.
The sign-up volunteers
This little guy was doing his share to make Vernonia shine.
These guys were headed down to help.
Cleaning the Learning Center
Volunteers are creating a court yard. This is part of the Ford Family Project.
What a great little worker.
After the clean up, everyone was given lunch.
The main cook
A family affair
Museum sitting. Tobie has on the same hat, but a different volunteer job.
Hamburgers were provided by the Lion's Club

There is a specialness about small towns.
What a great idea. Terrific to see all ages participating. It sure looks like a happy little town.
Vernonia really knows how to do community!!
What building was that that the Lions Club provided hamburgers at?
Thanks for sharing.My husband,Fred and I grew up in Vernonia and graduated in '57 and now live in AZ. With all your pictures it's like taking a stroll around town :)) You were treated to just an awesome Mother's Day at the park too. I'm impressed with the participation on cleanup day. On an earlier blog I believe I spotted a well loved classmate of ours,Betty, with your Red Hat group. Thanks again.
