Think Green Fair 2010

The Pixie's Pocket™ has been invited to help sponsor the  "2010 Think Green Fair!"

The 2010 Think Green Fair will take place from 10am-9pm on June 26th, 2010 at the Olmsted County Fairgrounds, Graham Park in Rochester, Minnesota.

While I can't attend the fair personally, I will be sending the organizers a jar or two of honey to add to their raffle, as well as a stack of coupons (printed on recycled paper, of course!) for a discount at my Etsy shop.


Here's some details on the Fair from their official website:

"The Rochester Think Green Fair is designed to promote a healthier environment in the region by encouraging the local community to make more sustainable choices.

Through this one-day event we will celebrate simple and sustainable practices, products, and food. Examples will be shown on how day-to-day decisions impact our lives, neighborhoods, and world."

I was quite impressed by the promises they get from their food vendors - I've been to "green" festivals before and been given styrofoam and plastic to eat with, much to my dismay. The Rochester Think Green Fair is much more serious about living up to their ideals:

"At this year’s fair, we hope to reduce our footprint by working toward a goal of zero waste. Food and beverages served at the fair are judged by the origin and quality of their ingredients and production methods, as well as the materials in which they are packaged and served."

The person who invited me to sponsor this event was Crystal from "ScrubYourButt" which is an awesome name for a store that sells soap...and I plan on purchasing some of her products, too.

If you are in or around Rochester Minnesota this June, please join this celebration of green living and sustainability!
