She’s called The Pied Piper of Picker-Uppers, The Trash-Off Queen and, in another royal tribute, The Queen of Clean.  Her real name is Lou Hall and she’s the most fearsome – and beloved  – GRIME-fighting force in Pauls Valley.

She’s not hard to find.  Just go to Wacker Park any day the weather’s not terrible and you’ll see her picking up litter and encouraging the high school students who eat their lunch there to use the trash receptacles.  You can also see Lou at the head of the annual Trash-Off Parade she organizes, or find her picking up litter after special events.

Our judges called her “a tireless role model for responsible citizenship” and praised how she motivates others to keep Oklahoma Beautiful by her actions and her sense of fun.

Lou Hall, for your excellence in combating litter on many fronts, and for serving as a daily inspiration to everyone in Pauls Valley and, now, across the state, we salute you!
