The playful pelican mascot, for the city of Palm Coast’s 8th Annual Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup, has a name – Scoop!

The city asked for name nominations through its Facebook account, and then invited its Facebook followers to vote for their favorite. Scoop was selected from more than 130 choices. The winning name was suggested by three people: Sharon Pidcock Winfrey, Jennifer Niland Wright and Cathy Clayton.

“Thank you to everyone who offered a name for the mascot. We had many creative options,” said Denise Bevan, coordinator of the Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup. “Now, join Scoop to help clean and protect our community's treasured waterways and trails!”

The cleanup will begin at 8 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 5, at the Palm Coast Community Center, 305 Palm Coast Parkway.There is still time to register to participate at, www.palmcoastgov.co/icwc, or, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., weekdays, at the community center. Community volunteers will remove trash in and along the Intracoastal Waterway, its walkways and canals. Walkers can clean Palm Coast’s paths and trails, and boaters can work in saltwater canals and Intracoastal waters.
