Barrineau Park Cleans Up
April 23, 2017
A community clean up event was held Saturday in Barrineau Park in honor of Earth Day. The annual event is co-sponsored by the Honeysuckle Garden Club and the Barrineau Park Historical Society.
Each of over 20 volunteers selected an area to clean, was given gloves, a vest to wear, trash bags and bottled water, and then sent out to pick up the litter. All the trash was piled up under an oak tree at the community center.
The volunteers were then served a free lunch, funded by Kenneth Gibbs and prepared by Honeysuckle Garden Club.

Super job young people.
Thank you,William for your continued great coverage of the many happenings taking place in North Escambia County..a little post script..those doors were picked up by my husband,Craig Exner,President of Barrineau Park Historical Society in front of a home on Sunshine Hill Road..it’s amazing what one finds out on the highways and byways!!
I agree with Bill and I would have paid for both of those doors if they had been donated to a place I could buy them. People need to think before they just go out and dump things.
Great Job and Thanks for doing this….But it shouldn’t have to be done if people would respect or wonderful earth
