Florida-Friendly Family Festival

 
Come join us March 6th, 9 am - 3 pm at the Manatee County Fairgrounds for the Florida-Friendly Family Festival. The Festival will feature a variety of fun activities, eco-workshops and entertainment that appeals to children of all ages.  The Festival will offer a wide array of interactive demonstrations, ideas, workshops and exhibits to highlight our environment and show ways that families can conserve in and around their homes.  Admission is free.  Food will be provided, first come, first serve.  Local youth will be performing.  The Manatee County Utilities Department will be hosting a shower head exchange.  Bring your old shower head to be exchanged for a new water conserving model. 

Performances by the Earthlings (conservation themed entertainment), Palmetto High School Jazz Band and ROTC.  Eco-workshop topics include worm composting, life as a drip, bio-fuel blast and home conservation.  Local businesses, not for profit organizations and Manatee County Government will host exhibits.  Mote Marine's touch tank, a hybrid school bus and a 1930's fire truck will be on display.
