Hudson Earth Day Fair



The birds are back, the spring flowers are blooming, and the trees, shrubs, and grass are going green. It must be time for Go Green Hudson’s Annual Earth Day Fair!

Join us for a family-friendly afternoon of good green fun. The Earth Day Fair is a great way to get to know local organizations that are making a difference and can help us live greener and better. Learn about native trees, growing food in your own yard, and discerning the truly green from the ‘greenwashed.’

Come and see or buy greener versions of just about every product you already use, or discover something new, such as: organic clothing, baby blankets, soaps, and baking; local produce; recycled bikes; rainwater barrels; geothermal heating; and much more. Remember to bring your reusable bags if you plan to shop.

Inside there will be more than 35 local businesses and non-profit organizations sharing information and exhibiting products that can help us succeed in leading more environmentally sustainable lives. Outside you can meet local farmers and the kids can enjoy fun activities organized by the Hudson Youth Centre. At the Legion, at 1 and 3 p.m. Rohini Persi, president of the Environmental Health Association of Quebec, will be giving a talk entitled ‘How Green Is Your Clean?’
