Eco-fair and Family Funfest

Join WGBY for a free Eco-Fair and Family Funfest on Sunday April 25th from 11-4, wrapping up their 40th Anniversary Earth Day festivities, "Celebrate 9 Days of Earth Day with WGBY." The events will take place in Pulaski Park and at the Center for the Arts in Northampton, MA.

Activities in the park will include an Earth Day Stage with performances all day long, courtesy of 93.0/The River, and a Giant Puppet Show. Green Northampton will present Green Teams from the Northampton public schools who will provide family friendly green activities.

The PBS character WordGirl will also be on hand to help out with our green vocabulary.

Activities at the Center for the Arts will include exhibitors on green living and child-rearing and several performances for the toddler-age children and their parents.

At 4:00pm, WGBY will present Dar Williams and Patty Larkin at the Academy of Music in Northampton, MA. Ticket prices and more information about this event can be found at www.wgby.org/earth.

The event is sponsored by PeoplesBank, National Grid, and Green Northampton and presented by WGBY, 93.9/The River, The Daily Hampshire Gazette, The Northampton BID, the City of Northampton, The Center for the Arts, and The Academy of Music.

All proceeds benefit WGBY, a community supported public broadcasting organization that connects the people of western New England to events, ideas and each other to fulfill their aspirations, enrich their lives and improve their communities. We do this through PBS programming as well as locally produced series and specials. With our digital television channels, video on demand, podcasting and streaming video, WGBY is one of the region's most accessible institutions, building a stronger community through learning and understanding.
