Earth Day celebration at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods April 16

We’re booking the local entertainment, registering vendors, ordering the outdoor tents, and organizing the volunteers and sponsors. There must be something big brewing.

The 13th Annual Earth Day Celebration at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind. is 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 16.

Live animals? We’ve got ’em. Enjoy the fun and educational presentation of Silly Safaris. This show includes a variety of reptiles, mammals, birds and bugs. And that’s not all. We’ll also have Mark Booth’s Take Flight! Wildlife Program featuring owls, hawks and falcons.

Enjoy Irish music by the Women of Erin and other live entertainment. There will be plenty of activities for children of all ages, including a presentation by Carissa Lovett, naturalist at Dobbs Park in Terre Haute.

Local artisans will be selling their wares; fiber artists will demonstrate spinning, weaving and felting; woodworkers and blacksmiths will be working; kettle corn will be popping; and so more.

We’re still in need of volunteers and sponsors. We are accepting sponsorships until March 15. Please contact Robyn Morton at 812-535-2932 or rmorton@spsmw.org if you are interested in this opportunity.

A big THANK YOU to our sponsors so far. They are Sony DADC, Goodwill Industries of Terre Haute, and the Center for Public Service and Community Engagement at Indiana State University. Thank you so much!
