It all started with a need for a trash can in the front of the library. The library asked the Chamber to help purchase a new garbage can so visitors had a place to toss garbage before entering the library. Like flowers begin to grow and bloom each spring, the idea occurred to a group of Thompson Falls residents, that one garbage receptacle could blossom into something more significant – a whole bouquet of programs that work to clean up and beautify the community, which is what is now known as Thompson Falls Beautification Days. Now, years later, headed up by the Thompson Falls Main Street group, a long list of volunteers, organizations, businesses, government agencies, and schools work together to clean up the community. It is no longer all about adding garbage cans to fight litter, but the idea has branched off into many different facets including a focused effort to assist town residents with special needs to keep their yards looking great. Other elements include awards and recognition, school art projects, student volunteerism programs, public service, education, special yearly projects, and an overall effort to clean out the cobwebs from winter and haul that junk out of town. Making the Thompson Falls area sparkle each spring is a community-wide effort that needs community-wide support. Mark your calendar today, dig out your pruning shears and gardening gloves, and sign up for this three-day event which takes place the 2nd or 3rd week in April of every year.
