Notice:
We are very proud of the new Bike & Walking Trail. This trail is only for PEDESTRIAN & BIKE USE ONLY! It is NOT to be drove on by vehicles or ATVs of any sort!! PLEASE do not drive on the Bike & Walking Trail. It is not meant for that type of use and will ruin the brand-new trail. Please be respectful. This is an expensive project that we received grant funding for and do not want to see it ruined. Please take pride in our community.
The City of Clearbrook is currently fundraising to restore the music on Main Street in memory of Lloyd Engen. Lloyd Engen was a lifelong active resident of the Clearbrook community. He was an active member and volunteer in several local organizations in the community. Lloyd was one of the individuals instrumental in starting the music on Main Street. Lloyd was a founding member of the Clearbrook Community Club, a fireman and fire chief for several years for the Clearbrook Fire Department, an active member and Legion Commander for Clearbrook Legion Post #256, president of the Clearbrook-Leonard Senior Center, drove a medical minivan, volunteered at the food shelf and meals on wheel and instrumental in starting the Clearbrook Babe Ruth baseball program. Lloyd worked many years for the City of Clearbrook, mowing the grass all around Clearbrook. Lloyd was also selected as the Clearwater County Outstanding Citizen. One of Lloyd’s greatest accomplishments was being a father to 7 children and grandfather to 23 children. You could always find Lloyd supporting his grandchildren at local school events.
Lloyd was a man know by all and loved by many. Up to the week prior to his passing, he was talking about how much he would like to hear the music on Main Street again. This is why we are fundraising in Lloyd’s memory. Donations can be made at the Clearbrook City office or look for donation jars at businesses in Clearbrook.
If all the funds are raised for the music cost, we will continue to collect donations to replace the trees on Main Street.

Recycling Saves you Disposal Fees
If you think that recycling isn't worth the bother, think about what it costs you to throw your recyclables in the trash. Clearwater County pays tipping fees by the ton for trash hauled to the Fosston Incinerator. As the tonnage increases, the costs also increase. A state-of-the-art Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) recovers recyclables from trash, but the MRF operates more efficiently if it's separating mixed recyclables only, rather than recyclables from trash. Some of the recyclables aren't pulled out and end up in the landfill. Not only that, but the tipping fee for mixed recyclables is ZERO, which saves the county money. You can reduce the volume of rubbish by recycling your paper, cardboard, plastic food and beverage containers, steel cans and aluminum and glass containers. Take them to the recycling bins located by the County Highway Department in Bagley. Thank-you
