Hartford’s 3rd annual Earth Day Fair will be held on Thursday, April 19, 2007, from 11 AM to 3 PM, at Hartford City Hall and the Hartford Public Library, 500-550 Main Street. The Fair is sponsored by the Hartford Neighborhood Environmental Partnership (HNEP), a coalition of nonprofits and governmental organizations working together for an environmentally friendly Hartford.
The theme of the Fair is climate change and 30 exhibitors will present information and hands-on activities that help children, youth, and adults understand global warming and learn what they can do to help solve this environmental problem. Exhibitors include the CT Science Center, Knox Parks Foundation, the Hartford Botanical Garden’s CT Creative Store, Inner City Outings, the Hartford Food System, and Alchemy Juice Bar. Adults, families, and youth groups are welcome.
