 Friends of the Tug Fork River will be holding a tire tug-of-war river cleanup campaign on Monday, August 21st. Yeah, we have established a 60-mile water trail, the length of Mingo County, that also the length of most of Pike County and Martin County in Kentucky. And these tires, that's one of the big questions that we have when people come and float the water trails. We're in a world that all these tires come from. Are you ready for a new school year? What better way to start a new school year off-right than with a new device on the network that keeps our students and teachers connected. Appalachian Wireless.

The Tug Fork River still has decades worth of old discarded tires littering the waterway and ruining not only the natural beauty but also harming the environment that so many plants and animals call home. Yeah, there are thousands upon thousands upon thousands of tires in the river and besides being unsightly, they collect and hold sediment and silt in the river bottom and by cleaning these tires out, that sand and silt gets flushed downstream and would go back to a natural river bottom of cobblestone rather than sand and silt and that helps our fishery, it helps everything by providing that natural bottom to the river. The Tug Fork River Tire Tug of War will be held on Monday, August 21st and Thursday, August 24th.
