Details
A major draw is expected to be the Free-for-All, a materials exchange sponsored by PhillyFreecycle & the students at Wissahickon Charter School, where folks will be encouraged to drop-off reusable items during the preceding week, all of which will be offered free-for-the-taking during the event.

We hope to host recycling opportunities and composting training.

We seek participants to offer outreach and education, workshops and demonstrations.

We particularly welcome those who can offer kid-friendly, hands-on activities.

We seek live entertainment (for free or very low fee!), relevant workshops, talks, and other interactive, hands-on activities.

A nominal fee ($15 for an organization, $35 for a business) will provide table spaces for your representatives of sustainable practices, environmental advocacy, education and outreach organizations, local food producers and growers, especially CSAs. Tables will be 6 to 8 feet. Please indicate if you’ll have electricity or other infrastructure needs.
