After the weather dipped into the 30s earlier this week, it just as quickly rose back to the 60s Wednesday — the perfect temperature for Oil City’s annual Clean Up Day.
Community Services of Venango County was one of 27 volunteer groups that participated in the Clean Up Day, and Cindy Woloszyn of Community Services said the agency is hoping to put a park in the alleyway by the building on Center Street.
Woloszyn, who was volunteering with her co-workers Mary Beth Hawkins and Braden Reagle, said the non-profit organization is trying to get contractors and the hope is to have the park built by the time summer comes to a close.
Over at the corner of Seneca and Sycamore streets, Debbie Sobina was volunteering on behalf of the Elks Lodge.
Volunteers could choose their own work areas or be assigned an area when they registered.
The primary tasks for participating groups included sweeping, raking and hand pick-up of litter, leaves, brush and winter debris.
The three shifts were 9 a.m. to noon, noon to 4 p.m. and 4 to 8 p.m.
