The countdown has begun! It’s only 10 days until the Sisters of Providence welcome what they hope will be thousands of visitors to their home for the 14th Annual Earth Day Celebration at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind., 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 21.
The staff members of White Violet Center for Eco-Justice, a ministry of the Sisters of Providence, have outdone themselves once again on planning what looks to be a full day of fun, learning and sharing.
Enjoy pedicab rides by Red’s Wagon Rides, live Celtic music by Women of Erin, a children’s area, a Silly Safaris live animal presentation, Mark Booth’s Take Flight! Wildlife presentation with live raptors, alpaca shearing demonstrations, a butterfly program by the naturalist at Dobb’s Park Nature Center, a bake sale by the Sisters of Providence, a One Planet Solar and Wind presentation, a Tai Chi class, a tour of the new greenhouse, a tour of the Mari Hulman George School of Equine Studies barn, lunch items by local restaurants, vendors selling their eco-friendly or handmade wares, and spinning and weaving demonstrations.
This is the first year an expired medications disposal area will be provided by Union Hospital of Terre Haute. Dumping drugs could potentially harm our drinking water and the environment; so please take this opportunity to dispose of them responsibly.
