“KINGSTON – Rise and shine Kingston. The fifth annual Kingston Pride Day is scheduled for 8 a.m.-10 a.m. Saturday. Litter gatherers will meet at the John L.

When (downtown Kingston) is picked up, they don’t litter for a while, said Karen Ross of the Kingston Revitalization Association, which is a sponsor of the event. Vests and hardhats will be provided for the event that is aimed at cleaning up the main thoroughfare in Kingston, State Highway 104 from Lindvog Road. Groups will then spread out their litter fighting forces to cover residences and businesses near the ferry dock, Ross said. The more the merrier, she said. People should bring their own gloves and children are invited to take part in the event. They do a really good job, Ross said of the children. About 25 people typically show up for the event and show their Kingston pride. Last year, the bags of garbage gathered equaled a mountain, Ross said. “
