Celebrating ‘Make Solvang Shine Day’ in style

 

Giving that extra shine to Solvang’s city streets, a group of volunteers on Feb. 16 met early in the morning to celebrate “Make Solvang Shine Day” by cleaning up the downtown area. They could be seen sweeping, picking up trash, weeding, polishing and scrubbing. Volunteers included Mayor Linda Jackson, former mayor and city council member Ken Palmer, and city council members Gene Boyle and Jim Richardson.

 

Others helping were David Smyser, 3rd District Supervisor candidate; Mary Harris. Santa Ynez Valley Visitors Association executive director; Jim Hinkling, Beautification Committee member; David Rasmussen, shop owner; and Dr. Dennis Bales, Randall Bradford, Irene Cunningham, David Dykehouse, Tom Isaacson, Chris Lowry,  Sheri and Scott Martin, Julia Schoen and Tresha Sell, all Solvang Breakfast Club Rotarians.
