20080519 Fair deserves our support by Kim Stenley Carroll County Times


Fair deserves our support

By Kim Stenley, Columnist Monday, May 19, 2008

Want to learn more about alternative energy and green building design?

Want to find locally grown or made products for personal and household use? Want to have fun while helping to envision and create a more sustainable future?

Then visit the Maryland Heartland Sustainability Fair that's being held at the Carroll County Farm Museum from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, rain or shine.

Many of our fellow Carroll countians have worked hard to organize this event. They are good people who are eager to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for living lighter on the Earth. And their dedication to this inaugural effort demonstrates their passion for healthier, saner living.

The fair aims to promote local economies and empower residents and communities to become more self-reliant and sustainable. It's organized around four general areas: alternative energy, green building, sustainable agriculture and sustainable lifestyles.

Organizers have lined up more than 40 vendors representing these areas.

[…]

Admission is free for ages 15 and younger, $5 for those 60 and older and $10 for individuals or $15 for couples ages 16 to 59. This price includes admission to all Farm Museum buildings and exhibits. All proceeds will support sustainable living projects in Carroll County.

There will be a children's tent and play area, music, food for sale and a farmers market. Sorry, but no pets are allowed.
