The weather cooperated as several volunteers joined Vidor Mayor Misty Songe for the Mayor’s Clean-Up of Main Street.

Dozens gathered at the Crossroads Shopping Center where the EastGate Recovery Group sold breakfast burritos

At nine the volunteers started cleaning Main Street at the train tracks at old Hwy 90 and worked their way to City Hall
