The Green Valley Ranch Earth Day Celebration 2011 is set for Saturday, April 23rd, 10am-2pm.

Earth Day Sign (Small)

The Green Valley Ranch Citizens Advisory Board (GVRCAB) had so much fun last year we decided to do it again this year! The CAB’s goal is to educate and inspire our community to protect and enjoy our natural environment. Join us for children’s activities, live music, and information about outdoor hobbies and recreation. Eco-friendly or “green” businesses and organizations will be on hand to share how you can save money and the planet! The outdoor festival will take place in the parking lot across from our new Denver Public Library, just east of King Soopers.

When: Saturday, April 23, 2011
Time: 10am – 2pm
Where: Oakwood Homes New Home Center parking lot
18655 E. Green Valley Ranch Blvd., Denver, CO 80249
