Families, community groups, churches, local businesses, and teenagers who need to perform service hours are all invited to participate. Younger children are encouraged to attend as long as they are accompanied by a supervising adult.
All Beautification Day volunteers are invited to a free lunch courtesy of the Milford Lions Club and Milford’s Rail Trail Flatbread Company to thank everyone for their efforts to beautify our community. Lions Club members will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs on site, and folks from Rail Trail Flatbread Company will be serving samples of New City Microcreamery ice cream. In the event of rain, food service will not be available on Sunday.
