RIVER SWEEP – JUNE 20th, at locations in Clark and Floyd Counties
Join volunteers from across the country as the river sweep event occurs along the Ohio River. Since 1989, this award-winning cleanup for the Ohio River and its tributaries brings thousands of volunteers to the riverbanks to collect tons of trash and debris. River Sweep encompasses the entire length of the river, from its origin in Pittsburgh, PA to its end in Cairo, IL, including nearly 3,000 miles of shoreline and many tributaries. We spend the day collecting trash and debris along the Ohio River in Clarksville and New Albany and we make new friends in the process! It’s a fun day for the entire family! Visit http://www.orsanco.org/river-sweep for more information on this six state event!

Be sure to wear old, comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes or boots that you won't mind getting dirty. Trash bags and a limited number of gloves will be provided. If you have work gloves, please bring them.
LE TOUR DE PORK – AUGUST 6th, 8:30 am at Turtle Run Winery
Le Tour de Pork began with a group of cyclists who call themselves the "Fat Boys" and what started as fun and fitness is growing into an event with a purpose. This event is held by the Fat Boys and the bike ride, BBQ lunch and wine tasting occurs on the first Saturday of August with proceeds going to support the Ohio River Greenway. Save the date for the next ride planned for August 6, 2016. The 25 mile bike route will begin and end at Turtle Run Winery with one main SAG in downtown Corydon. The 50-mile route will have a smaller SAG at the half way point and return to Corydon for the final leg back to Turtle Run. For more information about this great event please go to: www.tourdeporkride.com. You can come out for the ride or just join in enjoying the BBQ and wine tasting.
