The Village of Newark streets, front yards and parks got cleaner and greener recently when more than 100 people showed up for the village’s 11th Annual Community Pride Day.
Volunteers planted flowers, pulled weeds and picked up trash throughout the village on Community Pride Day, May 20th. Residents and business owners all over the village showed their pride by cleaning and adorning their own front yards and store fronts with beautiful flowers in an effort to make our community sparkle.
Congratulations to the winners of this year’s contest, Newark Hair Salon and Spa for “Most Colorful Newark Business Exterior” and to 309 East Maple Avenue for “Most Colorful Newark Resident’s Front Yard”.
