Earth Day 2003 Celebration Promises to be Fun and Educational


Earth Day 2003 ~ Take It Home
Sunday, April 27, Noon - 4:00 p.m.
at North Mountain Park

Rogue Valley residents of all ages are invited to celebrate Earth Day at North Mountain Park in Ashland.

Over 30 exhibits will demonstrate ways to conserve energy, prevent pollution, reduce waste and create wildlife habitat.

Hands-on activities, face painting and prizes for children, lively entertainment and flavorful organic food will make this Earth Day celebration fun for the whole family. (See entertainment schedule below.)

In the spirit of Earth Day and due to limited parking, you are encouraged to walk, bike or ride the free RVTV shuttle to the park. The shuttle will run from Noon to 4:30 p.m. Stops will be designated on the Plaza in Ashland, in front of SOU, at Bellview School, in front of the DMV, and Walker School.

North Mountain Park is located at 620 North Mountain Avenue in Ashland. For information, call 488-6606. It's free!
