— Members of the Gravette Boys & Girls Club and the Gravette Gleamers 4-H Club joined forces Saturday in a cleanup project at Hillcrest Cemetery in Gravette.

The youths and their leaders spent several hours cleaning leaves and debris from the resting area near the cemetery columbarium. This is the first of several work days at the site, which will be landscaped with flowers and kept attractive during the spring and coming season. It will be a four-month project said Tina Crose.

Pictured, in random order, are Chris Crose Jr., Dakota Williams, Hunter Oyler, Daniel Murray, Dustin Scott, Anthony McPherson, Brice Romine and Brynn Romine, B&G members. The Romine brothers, along with Danny Lemonds, Eric Lemonds and Faith Lemonds, are 4-H members. Also helping with the project were Susan McPherson, Michele and Bill Romine, 4-H leaders, and Chris Crose, B&G director and Tina Crose.

The volunteers worked hard at the site.
