Telluride’s New Community Coalition supports spring clean-up, 5/20 – 22

19 May Telluride’s New Community Coalition supports spring clean-up, 5/20 – 22

It's Spring, the season of rebirth, renewal and regrowth – and a national ritual: Spring cleaning, a cyclical exercise that goes like this: out with the old, in with the inevitable new, which becomes old and, well, next Spring, if you can bear to part with it, goes out again. Which is why Lita, at the Town of Telluride's public works department, recognized the need for an annual event.

On Thursday May 20 – Saturday May 22, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., the Town of Telluride, in fact all of San MIguel County, is urged to roll up its sleeves to get rid of the flotsam and jetsom of our lives.
