Connecticut's Largest Earth Day Celebration to Happen

April 26th will mark the 20th annual Earth Day celebrated in Woodbury, CT, and the third year it will be brought to you by the Woodbury Business and Economic Development Committee (WBEDC), and sponsored in part by New Morning Market. The event will take place at the field at Woodbury Middle School from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Vendors, exhibitors, sponsors and volunteers are being sought.

This event is not-for-profit, and any proceeds collected will be donated to local charities. The Woodbury Earth Day Committee is now seeking the participation of exhibitors who share in the vision of preserving a sound environment and supporting a sustainable lifestyle. Those interested in applying for a 10' x 10' booth space are asked to visit http://www.woodburyearthday.org to download the application. Or they may email woodburyearthday@gmail.com for an application or with any questions.

 For-profit booth space is $50 for non food concessions, and $250 for food concessions. There is also a non-profit rate of $25. The deadline for submissions is March 28th.

 "The celebration has grown tremendously over the last 20 years and we could not have done this without the support and encouragement from this wonderful community of Woodbury and the surrounding towns" says committee chair John Pittari. "Watching families come together and enjoy all that the day has to offer is gratifying, and it's what keeps our planning committee of volunteers working so hard each year."

Sponsors are also being sought for this event, for areas such as the food garden, children's activities, and entertainment. Tracey Blackman, committee member in charge of sponsorships and marketing says sponsorship packages can also be tailored to meet individual sponsor's needs. All ideas will be considered. Those interested can reach Tracey at 203-915-3874 or tracey@traceyblackman.com.
