Clean-up day at Borden is Saturday, May 25, starting soon after 8 a.m. The crews cleaning up the 50,000 or more sandbags, etc., will be fed lunch and snacks at the clean-up sites and supper will be held in the community centre with music and entertainment. Borden appreciated all the help they received during the flooding and anyone who was involved can come to the supper, which will try to use up all of the donated food that came pouring in over the two weeks.
Now that the water has receded to only one or two pumps being used - and hopefully they can soon be shut off - May 25 is party time.
