Greg Clingan is often seen walking the streets of Covington not only for exercise purposes but it is not uncommon to see him picking up garbage, sweeping the streets, or spraying/pulling weeds.
Greg continuously advocates for the beauty and upkeep of the City of Covington. He said he feels people should take pride in where they live. Greg has certainly never met a stranger and if he doesn't know you right away, he will find some common bond you both share by the end of the conversation.
He is a lifelong resident of Covington with a lot of history behind his last name.
Each year Greg is one of the leaders for the Covington Alumni Weekend. He puts in countless hours volunteering, advocating and promoting the City of Covington.
Greg is married to Pam, and together they share two daughters, Amanda and Hannah.
Amanda is married to Alan and together they share three children; Reis, Remi and Jude who are all also very active in the Covington Community. Greg is quite proud of his entire family and lights up when talking about them. A fun fact: Hannah has followed in her father's footsteps and is a fourth generation auctioneer.
We could go ON and ON about all that Greg does for the community but we will end with these words...
Greg Clingan is THE biggest Covington Community Schools advocate and we are honored to have him leading the golf cart parade this Sunday evening.
Please line the streets of 4th and 5th Streets at 7 pm to wave & say hello and listen for Greg Clingan on the microphone that he is no stranger to.
CONGRATULATIONS, Greg Clingan!
Please line both 4th and 5th Streets. We will be leaving from and ending at the Covington City Park. Don’t have a cart? You’re welcome to join in with a car, motorcycle, ATV, etc.
