Friends and neighbors, this Saturday is the 6th Annual Earth Fair from 10 to 3 at Shawnee Mission East.
It is a super event for all ages, and it's free! The Fair has alternative fuel, electric and all hybrid cars on site. This year more than 50 exhibits will be there with information and activities related to energy, transportation, air quality, architecture, landscaping and agriculture, wildlife and prairies, rivers and streams, and personal lifestyle and investment decisions.
There will be musical performances by Briarwood and Belinder, and Kansas City’s own “Green Elvis” will perform. Craft activities for kids and live animals to touch will be part of the program. Eco-products, native perennials, and vegetable starts will be sold. Delicious organic lunches may be purchased. You can get your gas cap tested while you visit the Fair. The Fair also coincides with Shawnee Mission East’s gigantic used book sale.
This year the Fair features a special workshop at 10:30 for elementary and middle school parents and teachers describing how schools can better utilize their Outdoor Wildlife Learning Sites (OWLS). There will also be a special presentation at 1:00 on how to use native plants to build a rain garden at your home – rain gardens are key to reducing water runoff and stream erosion throughout our region. Earth Fair is co-sponsored by the Prairie Village Environmental Committee and the Shawnee Mission East Student Environmental and Recycling Committee. Drawings for hourly door prizes will be held for those who walk, bike, or carpool to the festivities or make a clean air pledge to reduce driving
