Over the past four decades, dozens of Snowmass Village residents have taken part in the annual Town Clean Up Day.<\/p>\n

Hosted by the town of Snowmass Village, Alpine Bank and Rotary Club of Snowmass, the coordinated trash cleanup, celebratory barbecue and raffle drawing has always been a true community event for village locals, according to Rhonda Coxon, town clerk.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why this year, despite the COVID-19 crisis, Coxon said she felt the annual cleanup had to continue on in some fashion that would safely keep the community event alive and also support local businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hated the idea of losing it on its 40th anniversary and it\u2019s always been a really community-focused event,\u201d Coxon said of the town cleanup. Instead of a one-time opportunity to help cleanup trash in Snowmass Village, Coxon said this year town locals will have an entire month to tidy up their favorite park, trail, roadway or other area of the village.<\/p>\n
