2022 Earth Day Fair - After Action Report
Saturday, May 7th
Environmental Forum
Nearly 25 exhibitors participated in the Earth Day Fair this year at the Freight House Farmers Market. The theme this year was “Invest in our Planet.” With sponsorship from Living Lands and Waters and WVIK, we were able to offer activities and educational materials to several hundred Quad Citians.
We had over 30 organizations represented, including: Wapsi River Environmental Education Center, Wild Ones Quad Cities Chapter, Family Museum, Niabi Zoo, Nahant Marsh Education Center, Metrolink, River Action, Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Quad Cities, Audubon Society, Citizens Climate Lobby, and Quad City Botanical Center.
We also had 5 different musical groups perform throughout the day, and we all enjoyed the perfect spring weather! Thank you to our sponsors and the many organizations who participated. We also thank the many PACG members who came out to help set-up, break-down, and do general chaos control!
This annual tradition was coordinated by PACG’s Environmental Forum. We are grateful to have an effective and fun group of people in this group. We meet via Zoom on the first Monday of the month. Contact our forum if you would like a link to the meeting.
There are numerous pictures of the Earth Day Fair at the Market on our Environmental Forum Facebook page here.
