GREEN RIVER – Go Green with the City of Green River on Friday, April 22nd at Expedition Island from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. This year’s Earth Day event has expanded to offer fun outdoor activities for the family and a host of new vendors too. New to the Fair this year we will have a nine-hole Frisbee Golf Course on the Island.

This year Earth Day is 46 years old, and communities across America and the globe are celebrating the beauty and wonder of our planet and learning new and better ways to protect it. Today, millions of people participate in Earth Day activities, but it all started with one idea. One tree can start a forest, one day can change your life, one step begins every journey, and even one person can make a difference. Join the City of Green River and the Green Team as they explore all the ways that even one decision can make a real change.
