AUBURNÂ â When the Auburn Beautification Commission came to clean the Mill Street Dam area last year, around seven people showed up. On Saturday, however, commission president Sarah Dibble estimated around 60 volunteers arrived to pick up trash.
People removed all manner of garbage along the Owasco River for the Earth Day cleanup event sponsored by the commission, Cayuga Climate Action, Auburn Downtown BID and the city of Auburn
Dibble marveled at how many people were there to help out, including the Auburn Girls Modified Lacrosse team from Auburn Junior High School. It warms my heart that the people of Auburn have such big hearts and they really want to see their city (look) more beautiful, she said.
