Modesto's Earth Day in the Park was a great success!
With the cooperation of great weather, several thousand
people strolled through the park throughout the day
visiting vendor booths, enjoying the free entertainment
in the Mancini Bowl and sampling great food.
The Boyett Petroleum "B Green" event drew a total of
270 people "donating" e-waste, CRV recyclabes and 5.4
tons of paper. All materials will be recycled and
the money earned will be matched by Boyett Petroleum and
donated to City of Modesto Parks, Recreation and
Neighborhoods Department programs.
Approximately 100 cyclists utilized the free bike
corral and entered to win gift certificates from Valley
Sporting Goods.
The 2010 Earth Day in the Park theme was "Random Acts
of Green." Attendees learned that every little
"green" thing they do makes a difference. So, what
will you do today to make the earth a little greener?
Be sure to attend the 2011 Earth Day in the Park on
Saturday, April 16, 2011.
