2011 Mountain Area Earth Day Fair

Earth Day 2011 promises an even bigger celebration at Evergreen Lake

This year's Earth Day Fair will kick off a new speaker series with exciting presentations. This feature will be added to the familiar exhibition hall in & outside the Lake House and will offer additional in-depth information and opportunity for discussion on selected topics.

Join us at the Annual Mountain Area Earth Day Fair from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, April 23 at the Evergreen Lake House, 29614 Upper Bear Creek Road. Shuttle Parking will be available at the Wulf Recreation Center. Admission will be free to all ages.

Growing since 1990 and now one of the largest and most popular Earth Day celebrations in Colorado, this year's fair will feature over 50 federal, state, and local agencies, nonprofit organizations and businesses. Up-to-date information on critical issues will be available for open discussions and to take home. Numerous children's activities are planned. Local middle school students have been invited to present their relevant & winning science fair projects and high school students will take part in various planning and hosting tasks. A warming tent will provide space for additional exhibitions and live presentations. HawkQuest will present its live raptors, thanks to funding by the Colorado Foothills World Affairs Council, the Montessori School of Evergreen, the Mountain Area Democrats, and the Mt.Evans Group of the Sierra Club. While you are at Evergreen Lake be sure to visit the historic Boat House, home to the Evergreen Nature Center operated by Evergreen Audubon.
