 Third Annual Sustainability Fair
The
Third Annual Fair is created in collaboration with the University of
Minnesota, the City of Lauderdale, the City of Falcon Heights, and the
Three Rivers Park District.
This
free event highlights sustainable practices going on in our community
while educating others on how to bring sustainability home with them.
The fair is geared up for all ages to engage community members to work
together protecting our natural resources and environment for a more
resilient future. Together, we can change the world by sharing our knowledge and bringing diverse skills to the table.
There
will be local vendors attending that will provide information for new
resources such as tiny homes, native plants and rain gardens,
sustainable energy, improving water quality, waste management, solar
power, wind energy, lead detection information and more!

 OVALumination is back!
Come out to the Guidant John Rose MN OVAL to celebrate the 3rd annual
OVALumination! On November 20th, 2015 at 6:15pm we will be lighting up
the trees for the season.
OVALumination is a celebration fit for the glamour of the holiday
season. It’s free to view or
enjoy skating
underneath the lights. Admission is only $5.50 and skate rental is
just $4.00.
Every year we focus on making OVALumination bigger and better by
lighting the OVAL with more sparkling holiday lights and fun surprises.
This year is no exception, along with more lights and family events,
OVALumination will be partnering with
Knitteapolis, the Minnesota yarnbomber, who adds colorful soft street art one yarnbomb at a time. Knitteapolis
will be yarnbombing the front of the OVAL with colorfully knit yarn,
enhancing OVALumination’s holiday cheer with an unexpected twist.
#KnitTheOVAL is sponsored by
North American Banking Company!
