The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and the Village of Algonquin will hold the 12th annual "It's Our River Day" - a local Fox River cleanup. The event will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, at Towne Park along Crystal Creek, a tributary to the Fox River.

The event this year will coincide with the Rotary Club's Harvest Market near historic downtown Algonquin.

Join the community for this annual celebration of the Fox River, and part of the statewide day of river celebration. It's a cleanup, both on land and in the water, thanks to the Village of Algonquin, Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, Sierra Club-Valley of the Fox Group, Fox River Jeep Club, Illinois Paddling Council, Illinois Water TrailKeepers and Prairie State Canoeists, plus all those who come out to clean up and celebrate together with your fellow Fox River watershed inhabitants.
