RiverLink and Duck Pond Pottery of Brevard, NC will host a stream cleanup of the French Broad River where it flows along Greenville Highway (Hwy 276) just a few miles outside of Brevard. We will leave from Hap Simpson Riverfront Park and go out in canoes to remove trash from the river. Following the cleanup, join us for a potluck and evening of local music and art through the Duck Pond at Dusk summer concert series.

When: Saturday April 25
Cleanup 12 - 4 pm

Where: Meet at Hap-Simpson Riverfront Park on HWY 276 at noon.

Concert and Picnic to follow cleanup
5 - 8 pm
Duck Pond Pottery Studios
1840 Greenville Hwy Brevard, NC 28712

We will float several miles down the river as we cleanup trash. RiverLink can provide canoe slots for up to 12 volunteers. Please RSVP to Palmyra Romeo at (828)252-8474 x 119 or palmyra@riverlink.org if you'd like a spot in a canoe. You can also launch your own boat and come be a part of the cleanup crew!

**Volunteer with truck and hitch to haul trailer of canoes from Asheville to cleanup needed!**

After the cleanup, come join us at the Duck Pond Studios, a working pottery studio and shop owned by husband/wife team Nick Friedman and Jennifer Kelly. The shop is located on a high bank perched over the French Broad River in the NC mountain town of Brevard. The Duck Pond at Dusk summer concert series has its roots in parties and open houses put on over the years at the studio.

With the backdrop of the French Broad and the valley beyond, come enjoy the river, a summer sunset, and some of the finest acoustic music this area has to offer. The open jam will feature members of Shannon Whitworth Band, Moonshine Babies and many more local favorites. Bring your own snacks or a picnic dinner to enjoy during the concert. Craft Beer will be provided throughlocal microbreweries. Suggested $5-10 donation.
