Members of the Perry Lions Club last week made their semi-annual trek along Iowa Highway 141 as members of the Dallas County Adopt-a-Highway program.
The local Lions collected several hundred pounds of refuse on their adopted stretch of Iowa Highway 141 between Dawson and F Avenue. The club has been doing twice-yearly roadside litter cleanups for more than 20 years, one of many service projects for the community.
