This Sunday, April 22 is Earth Day, and the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce is hosting the 3rd annual “Operation Beautification Wallingford” on Saturday, April 21. The clean-up event is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and will start at the Wallingford Center. Colleen Kurke, President of the Wallingford Chamber, says there will be face painting, music, and a bake sale.
Kurke says the proceeds will benefit the Wallingford Community Senior Center and the Chamber for all they do to, “make Wallingford a great community to ‘eat, live and work in.'” They will also be collecting food for the local food bank, Family Works.
