The City of Nome held its spring cleanup week from May 23 through May 31, culminating in the raffle event and hot dog feed at Old St. Joe’s on Saturday afternoon. Those citizens who collected 15 yellow trash bags of garbage were entered to win seven brandnew bikes. Six kids did indeed win a bike, with Caden Hanebuth being so lucky that he even won two. City manager assistant Candace Weidler reports that five dump trucks – three from the city’s Public Works department and two from the state’s Dept. of Transportation — were sta- tioned throughout the city.
