FLORENCE GREEN FAIR | APRIL 29, 2015 — 3
Welcome to the 2015 Florence Green Fair
R
eady to go “green”? Discover how at
the sixth annual Florence Green Fair
on Saturday, May 2, from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m., at the Florence Events Center.
“Living green” is not just a catch phrase anymore. It’s
the direction more and more people are taking as the
importance of protecting the environment stays in the
forefront. Now, “living green” means making changes to
lifestyles — changes that are environmentally friendly
and sustainable.
To further these efforts, the Siuslaw News and KCST
Radio worked with an active organizing committee that
strives to improve the fair experience each year and
hopes that this year’s fair will be the best ever.
Bring the family and come celebrate community while
immersing yourself in the pleasures of sustainability.
This year, the fair has partnered with area educators
and vendors for a day of fun for all ages, including visu-
al displays, homegrown flavors, hands-on crafts for chil-
dren of all ages and music featuring Marty Adams.
Exhibits, seminars and interactive activities are
scheduled throughout the day at the FEC, 715 Quince
St.
A new addition to this year’s Green Fair is the Kid
Zone, sponsored by Central Coast Disposal, Pest Tech
and Pioneer Recycling. This special area will feature
interactive craft projects and a planting station.
The first 100 youth to attend the fair will receive a
super-recycler cape.
Also on hand is the Repair 2 Reuse café. Bring your
pants that need a button replaced or a small appliance
that isn’t working and have them repaired for free. Have
a computer problem? Stop by the café for a free con-
sultation.
Admission to the Florence Green Fair is $2 for adults
and free for all children accompanied by an adult.
However, anyone who brings a used plastic planter pot
to be recycled will receive free admission.
Whether it is about recycling, using less energy or
protecting the soil, air and food we eat, the Green Fair
will offer ideas and solutions for adopting a greener
lifestyle.
