Saturday, April 19, 2008

EarthFaire: 10am-2pm, 1st and Madison Street.
The Corvallis Environmental Center's EarthFaire will be held from 10am until 2pm on First Street between Monroe and Madison. Festivities will include exhibitors, music, crafts, and playful creations. There will be activities for children and families in the Eco-Village where exhibitors share the exciting work that is taking place locally to make our community a healthy, thoughtful, safe, interesting, and sustainable place to live. The Eco-Village is an opportunity for residents to explore resources and find information about water conservation, native landscaping, bicycle transportation, renewable energy, organic gardening, 'green' materials, resource efficiency, local foods, alternative currency, and more! Earth Faire 2008 will feature Corvallis-based live music.


Procession of the Species: Noon, 1st and Jackson Street.
The Procession of the Species will gather at noon in Jackson Plaza on the Riverfront. The Procession will begin at 12:30pm and wind its way through downtown Corvallis. Everyone is welcome to participate in this artistic and creative celebration of the Earth. Participants are invited to represent species from each of the elements: Earth - land animals, Air - winged creatures, Water - fish or aquatic species, or Fire - extinct, mythological, or fantasy species. There are three basic rules: no motorized vehicles, no pets, and no written words. There will be costumes and masks available for loan prior to the start time at the information table in Jackson Plaza. These are limited and available on a first come, first serve basis.
