Earth Day Kids Fest Date Announced, Sponsors Wanted

Organizers have set Saturday, April 14 as the official date for this year's Earth Day Kids Fest (EDKF).

The 10th annual event - hosted by the Captain Planet Foundation (CPF) and the Chattahoochee Nature Center (CNC) - is a highly-motivational eco-event where children and youth learn how to become great stewards of the planet in fun and exciting ways.

This year’s goal is to encourage people to take individual actions as a part of the Earth Day Network’s (EDN) “Billion Acts of Green.” Visits with Captain Planet, Laughing Pizza and live native animals are on the agenda, as well as fun activities like face painting, canoe paddling and shopping in the green Eco-Village marketplace.

Presented by the Macy’s Foundation, Comcast and the Atlanta Journal Constitution, sponsorship opportunities are still available and can be downloaded online.

The event takes place Saturday, April 14 from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors, $5 for children, and children under two are free. Ride a bike from home to receive free admission! Please carpool as parking is limited, but a complimentary shuttle bus service from near the corner of Willeo/Azalea and Highway 120 is available.
