In response to a rash of citywide graffiti, Kalispell City Councilor Phil Guiffrida III has organized a community cleanup event for Saturday, July 14.
The graffiti cleanup will organize at 9 a.m. at Penco Power Products, 2310 U.S. 93 S. A barbecue for volunteers is scheduled for 1 p.m.
Guiffrida proposed a community-wide graffiti cleanup after seeing a growing number of tags defacing sites across town. He rallied support among the city council, Flathead County commissioners and local businesses to combat the problem and spread awareness.
