WILLISTON, ND (KXNET) — The annual spring Clean Williston event has officially been scheduled. The City of Williston announced it will be happening on Saturday, April 26, from 8 a.m. to noon. A back-up date for May 3 is in place in case there is inclement weather. If that happens, it'll be anno unced on social media and this website. Everyone is invited to volunteer to beautify the city by signing up for a zone within the city limits to clean. "Clean Williston is an event that brings our community together and benefits all residents," said the Streets and Refuse Superintendent for the City of Williston, Marc Mohr. Every year, businesses, organizations, and groups generously donate their time to the Clean Williston effort, which is held biannually in the spring and fall. "Clean Williston is always one of my favorite times of year. This not only helps the City of Williston, but it helps yourself," said Mayor Howard Klug. "Williston is our hometown, and whether it's you, your family, or your business, we want people to see that we're proud of what we've built here. One of the ways we can show that pride is by keeping our town as clean as possible. We've had great success in the past with help from volunteers and citizens of Williston, and hopefully that continues on for years and years to come."
