Earth Day 2009

From Chasidy Hobbs, Director of Earthday Pensacola:

Hello Earth Day Family! I have attached the registration form for the 2009 Earth Day Festival, the website should be updated with new information soon. We are at Bayview Park again on Saturday April 18th. A few changes this year:

1. You will notice a new layout. I have removed some less desirable spaces and added others. I was a bit lazy and simply removed numbers, rather than change all of them, so you will see some booth numbers missing.
2. We will be using the beautiful pier for music and other entertainment this year. There is a fabulous grassy area to sit and watch which creates a natural amphitheater feeling
3. Electricity will be available only indoors this year. And, of course, we still ask that you do not use it if you do not have to, we would like to reduce our footprint as much as possible.
4. The dog park will be closed the day of the festival and no pets are allowed. I know this is very disappointing to many of you (myself included), but it is based on a city ordinance and beyond my control. I have been told that some folks are looking to get a waiver option to allow dogs into some festivals, if anything changes before the festival I will let you know.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPONSOR THE EVENT AND WANT YOUR LOGO ON THE BILLBOARD AND POSTERS THE DEADLINE IS 2/15.

We will also have the Earth Day Environmental Symposium on April 22nd at UWF from 4-6pm. This will be a town hall like panel discussion on Climate change. If you are interested in sitting on the panel, or know of any professionals who could contribute to the discussion please let me know.

ALSO:
The Greater Good Music, Art and Children’s Festival is being held at Adventures Unlimited this year March 6th – 8th. For details visit: http://www.greatergoodmusicandart.com/. I have offered to be the volunteer coordinator this year. Volunteers are key to running the festival, in fact we value your efforts so much we offer a weekend pass to all volunteers. There is a wide variety of ways to help, for example: Set Up Thursday, Security / Trash, Parking, Ticket Gate, Shuttle / Runner, Hospitality, children’s area and Clean Up on Monday. If you would like to volunteer let me know ASAP.
