In conjunction with the event, local elementary schools will be promoting the focus on sustainability at their science fairs to encourage projects that reflect “green” themes.

Local farmers and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) organizations will also be in attendance.

Specific learning opportunities for children include: Kids in the Kitchen with Chef Tom, Cooping 101 workshop, “bees, bunnies, goats and chickens,” and planting projects.
