The PPNA owns the 1st place 'trashiest team' trophy which we have to give back unless we win. Capture the Trash is a joint effort to Clear Riverside and Frog Island Parks of trash. Last year the event expanded because trash was picked up so quickly. The event is really fun and I hope as many folks as can make it.<br><br><br>There is also Ypsi Pride Day on May 16th -- We have a little more time but I'd like suggestions on areas we would like to concentrate on. This can be a painting project, a planting project, or a clean up project.<br><br>email me at prospectparkneighborhood@comcast.net with your ideas.<br><br><br>
