A Saturday in the middle of April is now becoming an annual custom locally, as Keep Fishers Beautiful day.  Nearly 300 volunteers across the city worked to make the community look and feel a little nicer on Saturday, April 15th.

One of the biggest events featured recycling at Billericay Park, near 126th Street and Promise Road.  Volunteers took in unwanted items, such as paint, electronics and sensitive paper in need of shredding.  A long line of vehicles stretched around the parking areas, but volunteers were quick to get people in and out.

The day’s festivities began at Cheney Creek Natural area.  Other spots around town for sprucing-up included The Ambassador House, Ritchey Woods, Harrison Thompson Park, Holland Park and Cyntheanne Park.

“It’s a great day to be out in the green space here in Fishers” Mayor Scott Fadness said as he visited Holland Park.

The weather cooperated this year, with sunshine and temperatures in the 70s.
