Going Green
America is going green and what better way than for our local fairs to join in this rejuvenating process. Fairs are implementing green programs such as: solar power, waste diversion, water conservation, and energy efficient products. Fairs also partner with public agencies and private companies to guide/support efforts to incorporate sustainable practices at fairgrounds.
