Earth Day Awareness Fair!

The Exploration Station...a children's museum is hosting our annual Earth Day Awareness Fair on Saturday, April 17, 2010.  The fair will include a variety of environmentally friendly activities and educational programs to help preserve and improve the quality of life for future generations.   Throughout the day the fair will include recycling activities, face painting, crafts, hay rides and more.  We also offer tie-dying for participants who bring in their own T-shirt (limit one per person) or you can purchase a shirt from the museum gift shop for $5.00.  The Earth Day Awareness Fair is open to the public and admission is FREE when you bring in six recyclable items.  Acceptable items include: cleaned aluminum cans, newspapers, plastic 2 liter bottles, and plastic 12 oz bottles and computer ink cartridges.
