Clearwater is bright and beautiful because all of us come together to work together, to serve God, to serve our community, and to help our fellow man.”

City Manager Bill Horne said, “If you want to attend an event that’s free, that’s fun, and that’s inspiring - an event that helps you to improve your life and relationships with others - Look Up! Clearwater is the event that you want to attend. So, on behalf of the city of Clearwater, community leaders, and others who have come together to sponsor this event, I want to encourage you to come to Look Up! Clearwater on April 4, 2020!”
