AUBURN - The walls of Auburn and Lewiston are bit cleaner this week after dozens of volunteers gave their time over the weekend to rid the cities of graffiti.

Volunteers on Saturday painted over unwanted graffiti left behind at city parks and on street signs in the twin cities.

In Auburn, it was the third graffiti cleanup day organized by the Auburn Police Department.

In Lewiston, eighth-graders rolled up their sleeves to reclaim their city from graffiti artists.
