Algonquin To Hold Fifth "It's Our River" Saturday

The Village of Algonquin and The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will hold the fifth annual “It’s Our River Day” celebration and cleanup Saturday from 1 to 4pm at Cornish Park in Downtown Algonquin.

It’s Our River Day, a statewide celebration, kicks off in Algonquin with speakers at 1 pm.
At 2 the cleanup begins. New this year, the Illinois Water Trailkeepers from the Illinois Paddling Council and members from the Prairie State Canoeists will conduct an in-river clean up between Cornish Park and Buffalo Park. The Sierra Club will provide bags and gloves for the shoreline cleaning.
