(Michigan City, IN) - People are invited to take part in an upcoming beach clean-up in Michigan City.  Members of the Rotary Club of Michigan City will gather Monday at Washington Park beach from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

 

Residents are invited to help with the clean-up after the busiest beach weekend of the year in Michigan City from the Great Lakes Grand Prix.

 

“Thousands visit our beaches to watch the event.  Big events at the beach typically mean an aftermath of litter including single-use plastics, cans, cigarette butts, and more. These non-biodegradable items can only be cleaned up by hand,” said Michigan City Rotary Club President Matt Kubik.

 

Donuts, coffee and juice will be provided to those taking part.

 

Power boats traveling up to 150 miles per hour or more will race along the shoreline Saturday and Sunday during the 15th annual Great Lakes Grand Prix.  Race teams from five continents will take part in the event, which usually draws people as far as the eye can see.
