I'll never forget what I saw just after everyone cleared off from Dan's Bake Sale. There was a small army of janitorial people from the city of Fort Collins lined up waiting to pick up trash...

...but there weren't even cigarette butts in the gutters. All they had to do was empty the trash containers, which were admittedly filled to overflowing (but the ones I saw were actually tastefully arranged, as if a large trash pile was trying to impersonate a flower arrangement).

The shock on the workers' faces was priceless.

Funny you mention Dan's Bake sale. One of the events that stick in my mind involves the same man.

In 2000 Rush came to Puyallup, Washington to campaign for a moderate conservative Republican running for governor. The event was held at a fairgrounds and was attended by 40,000+ conservatives. Largest political gathering in Washington State's history, (didn't help the candidate win, go figure).

There wasn't as much as a cigarette butt or napkin left on the grounds for the clean-up crew! However, outside the fairgrounds where the liberals held a protest vigil, the garbage left behind was disgusting.
