St. Martinville Cleanest City Contest

March 18, 2019 @ 8:00 am - March 20, 2019 @ 5:00 pm

| Free

Spring is beginning to tease St. Martinville with blooming roses and Japanese magnolias and the Cleanest City Contest.  The City of St. Martinville and the St. Martinville Garden Club are just starting up the preparations for the judging which will take place sometime during the week of March 18-22!

Glenda Kately-Sonnier, Recreation Director and City Chairperson and Esther Perkins, Garden Club Chairperson, invite you to be part of the project by sprucing up your lawns, cutting grass, sweeping, painting, spring planting, litter control.   In other words, it’s a great excuse to start some spring cleaning early.

The community is also invited to take part in the AnnualTrash Bash on Sat., March 16, 2019 from 8am-12pm beginning at the Duchamp Opera House, corner of Main and Port Sts.   Students and other community volunteers will do some last minute litter control, along with painting, planting and touchups as we prepare for the contest.  All volunteers receive t-shirts with the winning slogan and are also invited afterwards for lunch provided by the Garden Club.

In the meantime, we’re looking for a new slogan for the Contest.  St. Martinville students are being asked to take part in a slogan contest.  Information has been sent to all of the local teachers, and the deadline for entry is Fri., Feb 15 at 4pm at City Hall.

Students can then take the winning slogan and develop a poster to enter in the Clean City Poster Contest.  The poster must focus on the winning slogan and ways to improve the environment of the City of St. Martinville.  Deadline for the poster contest is Fri., March 8 at 4pm at City Hall.

All students are urged to participate in both of these contests.  Winners will be recognized at a City Council meeting.

A huge appreciation to everyone who has been a part of this project in the past, and we look forward to seeing you again on March 16!!
