Rio Nido Fountain Before
Rio Nido Fountain After…with the Help of the Beautification Team
Eight large garbage bags of rose clippings were removed. Special thanks to Larry for the idea to clean up the fountain and the super power washing he gave it. Special thanks to Elena, Nancy, her son Danny, and Matt for painting. Special thanks to the property owners (Mr. and Mrs. Walsh) who paid for the paint and gave their permission to get this done. And special thanks to Brad of the Roadhouse, who supplied the water for the power washer and bought lunch for the painting crew!
