PANOLA COUNTY, Texas — Panola County Chamber of Commerce executive director Keri Vance encouraged children to come out to help with this weekend’s Panola County Clean Up Day at Libby Elementary.

Vance was joined Tuesday by community representatives Steve Williams, Aubrey Hull-Goodwin, Katie Foster and Teresa Dennard, who performed a skit for the kids to teach them about the importance of not littering and of picking up litter.
