Earth Day is a time to meet people from other organizations, get out your message, and recruit members, volunteers, and interested people. It is a fun day to be outside, talk to new friends, and learn about all the great things that are happening in our community. To make sure that the event is as interesting, entertaining, educational, and enjoyable as possible we would like to invite YOU to be at this year's Earth Day Celebration!

Along with the usual Exhibitor Tent, we also hope to have a separate Green Market Tent. The Green Market Tent is a place where local businesses, organizations, and area crafts people can share their renewable, sustainable, or environmentally friendly products for purchase.
*Please be aware County Parks do not allow dogs at this event.
