On Saturday, along with all of the celebrating that was going on in town, a small crew took a trip down the Cedar River to clean up garbage. Beginning at 8:00 a.m. a crew of 15 people from as far away as Iowa City and Muscatine joined forces wish local folks from Brandon, Dysart and surrounding areas. The crew cleaned a section of the Cedar River beginning at Minne Estema Park and ending at Vinton's Boat Ramp.
