Sponsors are now being sought for the Village’s third annual celebration of green living — Earth Fest — scheduled for Sat., April 20, in the LEED® Gold-certified Public Works Center, 201 South Blvd.
Sponsors not only receive special recognition in event promotional materials, they also help move the community forward toward the important goal of living sustainably. Earth Fest celebrates green living by encouraging and educating people on how to live more sustainably to support a healthier planet.
This year’s event will highlight organic farmers, eco-friendly landscapers, local chefs and restaurants, games and activities for children, items for sale, and entertainment. In addition, recycling booths will be available for eyeglasses, sun glasses, hearing aids, unused medications, rechargeable batteries, cell phones and old blue jeans.
Sponsors earn the opportunity to not only educate but also to engage and empower people to make healthier choices for themselves, their families and the planet. Sponsorships range from $125 to $1,000. A sponsorship form is posted at www.oak-park.us/earthfest.
