Green Events – Magic House

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Recycled Art Festival

There is a great event this weekend for you and your children. Brush up on the art of recycling with Leftovers, etc. at The Magic House’s Recycled Art Festival. Using their artistic “green” thumbs, kids will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of eco-friendly art activities that are sure to inspire creativity and environmental responsibility. Instead of a canvas, kids use a palette of colorful recycled materials to create sensational “green” re-works of art they can take home with them.

This event takes place on Saturday, August 7 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, and on Sunday, August 8 from 11:30 am to 5:00 pm. If you don’t already have plans bring your kids out for some family fun and learn about recycling at the same time. This event is free for kids.

Here’s the link to the website.
