2009 CLEANEST CITY CONTEST

The City of Carencro will participate in Louisiana's 2009 Cleanest City Contest, sponsored by the
Louisiana Garden Club Federation. Judging will take place Tuesday, May 5, so please do your best
to keep our city neat and clean.

Here are a few tips:
- Special attention should be given to the landscaping and overall
litter-free, clean appearance of Blue Star Markers.

- Approaches to a city or town should be carefully observed. Weeds around
poles, signs, and in roadside ditches detract as well as subtract points from the
Judges' scores. Care should also be taken to see that there are not weeds growing in broken
cracks of sidewalks or on street curbs.

- Special attention should be given to make sure no weeds or tall grass is
growing along school ground fences.

- Vacant lots should be mowed at least 10 feet from the street or high
way. We know It Is not always possible to mow the entire lot - although it does look better.
Vacant lots must be litter-free.

- Abandoned cars are one of the worst litter problems. A good anti-litter
project is to rid the community of such objects.

Thanks for taking pride in your community!
