A group of volunteers work to remove and replace the roof of the hog barn during Saturday's Day of Service
Last year, Malad City officially participated in the 9/11 National Day of Service for the first time. Last year’s projects included garbage cleanup at Crowthers reservoir and the frontage road, painting the dugouts and benches at Pioneer Park, cleaning debris in New Canyon, cleaning cemeteries, and a variety of projects in Samaria. This year, the projects included replacing the roof on the hog barn at the Fairgrounds, cleaning the ground and laying the base for an eventual ice skating rink east of the Search and Rescue building, planting and trimming trees at the City Park, working toward completion of the high school greenhouse, and once again, a variety of projects at Heritage Square in Samaria.
