On Thursday, July 13, 2017 - 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, a brief introduction and presentation about run-off pollution will be given by Friends of the Mississippi River staff at the brewery. Volunteers will then be equipped with spray paint, a stencil and safety material, and will head out in small groups to stencil "Keep 'em Clean, Drains to River" next to area storm drains. Volunteers also distribute educational door hangers to nearby homes and businesses, making a visual connection between the newly marked drains and local water quality, and what actions can be made in their home and yard to help protect our local waters. Participants should be prepared to walk approximately one mile while completing their mapped stenciling route.
After the stenciling activity, we'll reconvene back at the taproom to enjoy a pint or a flight and learn more about Tin Whiskers Brewing Company!
