Clinton’s Second Saturday Workday Set for June 14: Volunteers Invited to Join Downtown Beautification Effort
June 11, 2025
This Saturday, neighbors, civic groups, and families from across Clinton are invited to roll up their sleeves for Second Saturday, the city’s monthly beautification workday. From painting light poles and picking up litter to sprucing up planters and pulling weeds, there’s a project for everyone—and every helping hand makes a difference. Whether you’re wielding a paintbrush or a trash grabber, the mission is the same: make downtown Clinton shine.
Paint, Plant, and Pitch In!
The morning kicks off with a splash of color as volunteers team up to give the downtown light poles a fresh coat of paint. It’s not just about curb appeal—it’s about taking pride in the shared spaces that bring us together. Other projects include picking up litter along downtown sidewalks and alleyways, planting seasonal flowers in pots and weeding garden beds near storefronts, and spreading mulch to refresh landscaping around the square. Don’t worry—no special skills are needed, just a willingness to help and a good pair of shoes. Supplies are provided, and volunteers of all ages are welcome.
Why It Matters
Second Saturday isn’t just a beautification day—it’s a community-building event that celebrates teamwork and local pride. When people work side by side to make their city cleaner, brighter, and more inviting, it creates something bigger than any single project: a stronger, more connected Clinton.
“These workdays are a reminder that when we all chip in—even in small ways—the results are huge,” said a local resident and regular volunteer. “Fresh paint fades eventually, but the pride in our city lasts.”
Join the Movement
Volunteers are asked to meet at 9:00 AM at the Main Street Office, officially located at 105 Pitts Street. From there, project assignments and supplies will be handed out. Projects wrap up by lunchtime, and everyone is encouraged to stick around, grab a bite from a local restaurant, and admire the collective effort.
Every brushstroke, every bag of litter collected, and every flower planted adds up to a more welcoming downtown—and a stronger sense of ownership among those who call Clinton home.
Ready to Help?
No RSVP is required—just bring your energy and a good attitude to 105 Pitts Street at 9:00 AM this Saturday. The Clinton community is what makes this town special, and Second Saturday is one small but mighty way to keep it that way. Let’s show up, shine up, and make downtown Clinton sparkle.
