Benchmark Outfitters First River Clean Up!

Thanks to all who came out to the first Benchmark Outfitters river clean up!  We paddled from Dravo Park to Miamitown on the Great Miami River picking up cans, tires, shopping bags and other sundry items.  A good time was had by all. 

Don't worry if you missed it , Benchmark Outfitters will be looking for more clean up volunteers next year!
