Join in a city- (and creek-) wide cleanup event on Saturday, April 24th at 9 a.m. This self-paced, family-oriented competition works on the honor system. Register for a garbage bag at 13 Russell Street after 9 a.m. and return it by noon with your trashiest finds. Earn prizes for the biggest haul and weirdest pickups. Go for a trash-picking walk in historical downtown Winters, or scavenge along Putah Creek. The family that collects the most garbage wins our yet-unannounced grand prize, a secret you won’t want to miss. Other prizes will be offered, sponsored by the Winters Chamber of Commerce. We encourage you to bring water and wear sunscreen. Gloves and garbage bags will be provided.
El Pueblo Meat Market will be selling churros and other event treats on Saturday. Los Desconocidos, Winters’s favorite local band playing Norteño music, will play outside of El Pueblo around noon.
Tune in to the Winters Express Facebook page at 1 p.m. to hear California Democratic Party Yolo County delegate Dillan Horton — an area activist and one of the youngest candidates in Davis City Council history — speak about the importance of bipartisan youth involvement in politics and advocacy. A longtime fan of Youth Day, Horton hopes to inspire its spirit with a videotaped missive.
Safely join your neighbors at Hooby’s Brewing before or after a meal Saturday evening to enjoy the live music of Big Ben & the Brians from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
