Clearmont Day Planning Committee Seeks Volunteers

The Annual Clearmont Day Celebration will be held on June 28. Amy Rowe, Clear Creek Recreation District Director and part of the Clearmont Day Planning committee, recently asked for volunteers to help with the upcoming event, and she talked about some of the events that are planned.

Music will be provided by Jeanie Briscoe, a county-style singer out of Buffalo. There will be a free lunch in the park as well.

Rowe added this about those who are helping with the planning this year.
