Introducing Civic Spruce — Join Downtown’s New Clean-Up Crew!

West Plains, we’ve seen some incredible downtown beautification lately — from vibrant murals and the whimsical umbrella sky to the (under construction) bocce ball court. Now, we’re launching Civic Spruce, a volunteer-powered clean-up team to help keep our downtown looking fresh and welcoming!

First Clean-Up Day: Saturday, September 6th
-Meet at 9:15 AM at Perry’s Barbershop / Johnny Hatchet’s Coffee House
-Clean-up runs from 9:30–11:30 AM
Bring your leaf blowers, brooms, and general tidying tools — we’ll take care of the rest!

A huge thank you to Hughes Towing for sponsoring this initiative and helping us build a cleaner, more beautiful downtown for everyone to enjoy.

Let’s keep the momentum going and show some love to the heart of our town. See you there!
