Pick Up & Party Event – June 4
The Como Community Council will host a free Pick Up & Party event at Orchard Recreation Center, 875 W Orchard Ave., from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 4. The event will begin with the neighborhood cleanup from Front Street to Como Avenue and Dale Street to the railroad tracks.
Check in at the Rec Center between 2 and 3 p.m. for supplies and the location to start the pickup. After the cleanup, meet back at the recreation center for live music, snacks and yard games. Everyone is invited to this free event—find out more at district10comopark.org/sd4event.
