Aquarium Earth Day 4/26 9:30am-4:00pm 

Celtic Festival June 13,14 & 15

Last year we had a native/invasives display, along with our LCMGA chapter display.  For the Celtic Festival we manned our booth for only 3-4 hours on each day. 

Something interactive is probably more of a crowd drawer and pleaser for both events.

Your creativity is always welcome.

Please let me know as soon as possible so I can inform the organizations if we wish to participate or not.
