Cleaning up Vernal’s downtown has become a spring tradition and this year’s annual downtown cleanup event had a fantastic turnout! The Vernal Chamber’s Downtown Revitalization Committee plans the cleanup each year in preparation for local events in the spring and summer that draw visitors to downtown Vernal. According to Committee Chair Laura Chynoweth, there was a huge turnout of around 65 people on Friday. “Winters here are long,” shares Chynoweth, “and the cleanup is a great opportunity for residents to get outside for a bit and get the downtown area ready for all the fun summer festivals and events Vernal will host.” Several groups supported the effort, including Jones and Demille, Walmart, the Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce, Grand Valley Bank, Ashley Valley Realty, Uintah County Economic Development, Uintah County Travel and Tourism, and our local special olympians!
