Don your green apparel Saturday and head over to the Oregon Gardens for some fabulous Earth Day festivities. Re-purposing crafts, face painting, wildlife demos, and live Mariachi music (!) await you and your children among the beautiful flowers and spring greenery, as well as composting and green gardening seminars and a tree give-away for the grown-ups.
AND..... I know you have been waiting all year (as I have!), and the day has finally arrived: Coinciding with the McMinnville Public Market's special La Casa Verde Earth Day Market, with it's free birdhouse craft table, free children's library, and farmer's market, is the Annual International Chicken Tractor Races - Of The Nation! McMinnville takes "keeping Oregon weird" very seriously, and today we get to come together as a community to show the Nation that non-conformists have more fun. So come out and show your support for your favorite Chicken Tractor and remember: birds of a feather......
Earth Day is an important time for us to remind ourselves, and teach our children, how very valuable our world and its resources are to us and our future. I hope you are able to spend some time sharing in the Earth's wonder with your kids this weekend. Send in some pics, and if you have any events you would like included on Mid-Valley Kid Calendar, please email me here. Have a wonderful time. I hope to see you out there!
