This event series will culminate in one of Evergreen's classic family festivals with the familiar exhibition hall in & outside the Lake House:
Join us at the 23rd Annual Mountain Area Earth Day Fair from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, April 21 at the Evergreen Lake House. Shuttle Parking will be available at the Wulf Recreation Center.
Growing since 1990 and now one of the largest and most popular Earth Day celebrations in Colorado, the fair regularly features over 50 nonprofit organiztions, businesses and government agencies. Up-to-date information on critical issues will be available for open discussion and to take home. A warming tent will provide space for additional exhibitions and live presentations. HawQuest will again present its live raptors, by now a well anticipated tradition for this festival.
While you are at Evergreen Lake be sure to visit the historic Warming Hut, home to the Evergreen Nature Center which is operated by Evergreen Audubon. The Nature Center will holds its grand opening the same day with numerous children's activities "Fluffed Up For Spring!" focused on the Bear Creek Watershed. If you cannot make Friday's event, Lynne Cherry will be back at the Nature Center to read and sign her fabulous books and to share her Young Voices For The Planet short films.
Earth Day & Beyond is a small group of Mountain Area residents. Local high school students have taken on various planning and hosting tasks. Our major sponsors are the EPRD, Evergreen newspapers, Evergreen Audubon, the Rotary Club of Evergreen, The Evergreen Chamber of Commerce, Evergreen Sun Power, the Evergreen Wild Bird Store, Natural Capitalism Solutions and Dakota Blonde.
