Noon to 1:30 pm: Join volunteers at BoonDocks in Stella for a picnic, a drawing for prizes and share "fish stories" of what you found during this year's Big Sweep.
WHY
To make the White Oak River litter-free (and to have some fun doing it!)

in Cedar Point for a free day bike rental.
Special thanks to the
