The celebration will take place on Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Calpine Geothermal Visitor Center, 15500 Central Park Road.
“We are thrilled to be hosting Earth Day again,” said Danielle Matthews Seperas, director of community affairs at Calpine. “After spending time in isolation our collaboration with Middletown Art Center promises to make this year’s event the best one yet. We can’t wait to celebrate Earth Day this year with friends both old and new.”
With a theme of sustainability, this year’s Earth Day will host many exciting vendors, live music, pony rides, and activities for families and children.
The Goddess of the Mountain will be serving a beautiful, healthy lunch based on the Three Sisters, which the Iroquois and the Cherokee called corn, bean, and squash, because they nurture each other like family when planted together.
The Middletown Community Garden will offer tours and workshops to further their mission of educating the community about sustainable food production and healthy eating. A tree planting ceremony will be featured at 1 pm.
The Lake County Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer your gardening questions and to hand out useful information and seeds.
Local vendors include a solar installation company, plant nursery, makers from around Lake County and more.
The Children's Museum of Art and Science in Clearlake will offer fun activities for kids. A veritable petting zoo with a donkey, miniature horse and a goat also will be there.
Jesus Christ Fellowship, next door to the Calpine Geothermal Visitor Center and the garden, will open its doors for the community to enjoy billiards and other games inside the church, as well as the Lions Club-sponsored Bocce ball out back.
Beaver Creek, a local biodynamic and organic winery will pour. Biodynamic farming is holistic land stewardship at its best. It is the highest paradigm of sustainable farming, offering one of the smallest carbon footprints of any agricultural method. They forgo the use of inorganic fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides and instead rely on practices such as composting to increase the activity of microorganisms in the soil and planting cover crops that control erosion and provide habitat and food for beneficial insects as well as green manure for the vines.
And since all great parties start with great music, Brandon Eardley will provide music for the first half of the day’s events with Carlos Garay providing the tunes for the second half.
The day will close with our local poet laureate, Georgina Marie Guardado reading poetry she composed specifically for this event.
