Dave and Rita Dennis, Celina, pick up trash Saturday along West Bank Road as part of the annual Grand Lake cleanup day. The couple, who recently moved to the area from Illinois, said they felt the cleanup day was a good community event. Grand Lake St. Marys State Park Assistant Manager Brian Miller reported 74 volunteers participated, collecting 142 bags of trash. Some of the larger items found included a refrigerator, washing machine parts and tires. Miller said about a dozen more volunteers helped this year compared to last year.
