Fifth Annual Minnehaha Creek Cleanup A Success

 600 volunteers across the metro area came together to give Minnehaha Creek a well   needed sprucing up. This year marked the Fifth Annual Minnehaha Creek cleanup.  4,000 pounds of trash alone was pulled out of the area around Lake Hiawatha in South Minneapolis. Many volunteers were also bussed to Lake Calhoun and Lake Nakomis.  Volunteers enjoyed free bagels for breakfast and lunch provided by Leinenkugel's. The strangest piece of trash removed from the creek was a door.  The grand marshal of the annual clean up event was U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

The cleanup will help improve the Minnehaha Creek's shoreline, creek bed and surrounding area according to Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Minnehaha Creek is the chief conveyor of water that drains 181 square miles of the watershed from the far western suburbs through 29 communities. Edina is one of the many communities in the area that Minnehaha Creek flows thru.
