The Town of Avon recently issued the following press release on its upcoming Avon Town Clean Up and Sustainability Fair:

Mark your calendars and celebrate the changing seasons on May 21 with a little spring cleaning and sustainability education at the annual Avon Town Clean Up and Sustainability Fair! This year’s event will take place at the Sun & Ski Parking Lot, located at 218 Beaver Creek Place. It’s time to give our beloved town a fresh start after the winter months while also exploring ways to promote sustainability and environmental stewardship.
