Head Bearcats football coach Adam Dorrel displayed some gridiron enthusiasm Saturday morning while helping his players remove yard waste from the lawn of the Nodaway County Courthouse.
About 150 members of the Northwest Missouri State University football team, along with young people from the Maryville 4-H club, spent much of Saturday removing yard waste and mulching flower gardens and trees on the grounds of the Nodaway County Courthouse.
The annual cleanup effort also including picking up litter along Country Club Drive and Main Street and doing yard work at the private residences of several senior citizens.
North District County Commissioner Robert Westfall said the 4-H Club, led by Bob and Terri Lager, will head up seven or eight similar cleanup days through the summer and fall and in return receive a $600 donation from the county used to finance various club activities.
