CONWAY — The 25th Valley Cleanup was a success last Saturday, drawing more volunteers than last year, according to organizer Ron Mellady of the Saco River Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
"We had more trash in the dumpster there at the Hampton Inn (than last year) after the cleanup, so I would say that means we had more people out there picking up the trash, resulting in more bags," said Mellady on Monday morning.
