Short Summary of the Event:
This event was held to recognize Arbor Day and Earth Day. It consisted of various environmental vendors and clubs supporting the event. They set up booths to discus and advertise what they were doing and y as well as how to get involved. The event also had games and events to attract interested parties. We also provided giveaways, crafts as well as music and live entertainment. One of the major companies that participated in this event was the Aquarium of the Pacific, who brought their display "on wheels". This event was sponsored by the Institute for Sustainability and our Associated Students.
