Earth Fair is more than a two-day annual wake-up call. It is a catalyst for ongoing education, action and change. Most of us understand that we need to do something, some of us understand what to do, but how many of us are actually taking the steps? It’s time we practice what we preach, so that’s the plan we’re putting into motion with our 10th annual Earth Fair!
Striving to be a better steward of the environment? At Earth Fair we offer eco-smart choices for you and your budget, good-for-you organics and more. Earth Fair is a blend of companies, artisans, demonstrations, displays and entertainment acts as well as specialty attractions, food and novelty vendors and live furry friends. Come visit St. Clair County’s largest Earth Day celebration!
Your enjoyment of Earth Fair starts at the gate, where you will be assisted with parking and given a map of the grounds for the day and a schedule of events. Plan on starting early for a fun-filled day at Earth Fair.

Plant a Tree
It's an Earth Day tradition, but planting trees is one way to build forests back up, reduce soil erosion, provide habitat, stabilize a streambank, and cool the water of a nearby stream. Through the St. Clair Conservation District’s spring tree sale homeowners are able to purchase a variety of trees, shrubs and fruit trees at a very low cost. This year, check the box to buy one additional tree which we will donate to St. Clair County Parks and Recreation’s four county park properties. |

Go Green, Ride Blue
How many commuter miles will we save this year? Take our challenge and let’s find out! With help from our friends at Blue Water Area Transit, take alternative transportation beside your car to get to Earth Fair. Two FREE shuttles will run between the Maritime Center and Goodells County Park on Saturday from 10am – 4pm. Shuttle riders will get a special pin-on button “ticket” which also doubles as a coupon for receiving dozens of discounts at exhibitor’s booths and websites! |

Decode a QR Code
We know you see these everywhere, and this year you’ll see them at Earth Fair too. We challenged our exhibitors, in the name of reducing our carbon footprint, to use a QR Code in place of paper brochures. Obviously this reduces waste and conserves resources. To take full advantage of capturing information digitally while at Earth Fair, bring along your iPod, camera, tablet, or cell phone with a free QR Code Reader app installed. |

Field Trips
We want to make Earth Day special and memorable for every pre-registered student, so we have gathered a variety of resources for your use including a reusable cloth bag, a St. Clair Conservation District white spruce tree seedling, and NEW! A Zero Trash Lunch Challenge from our partnership with Tupperware. Tupperware not only meets our Zero Trash Lunch Challenge, but more importantly schools can offset their Earth Fair transportation costs with a 55% retail sales fundraising profit! Field Trip spaces are limited and fill up quickly, so please pre-register your class with our Field Trip Coordinator at (810) 989-6935. |

Mini-Workshops
While at Earth Fair, plan to attend one of our new mini-workshops! These 20-minute sessions are general seating, open to all ages, and staggered across the two-day event to tie in with the highest traffic times. We are setting up an additional showmobile stage to accommodate these hands-on workshops which will be given by our exhibitors to tie in with their message, product or service. |
