The Old Braden River Historical Society will hold its second annual winter river cleanup event from 9 a.m. to noon, Jan. 16 at King Ranch, 4630 60th St. E., Bradenton, which is roughly located between Morgan Johnson and Caruso roads.
Registration starts at 8:30 a.m.
Participants will paddle around the Braden River, collecting trash and other debris. An award is even given out to whoever finds the most unusual item during the cleanup.
