DPW SHOUT OUT!!!

Even though Provincetown had a huge party yesterday for Carnival, you would not know that this morning! I would like to give a big shout out to the DPW teams who assisted with security, traffic, road closures, bathroom coverage, water and sewer coverage, building clean up, road clean up and of course trash pickup. Thanks to them it does not look like we had a party yesterday! In addition to working all day yesterday, DPW started their day at 2am to complete this major cleanup. So, for that I want to say THANK YOU!!! Thanks to all our staff, we did our part to make carnival a success. See you next year at Cosmic Rodeo!
