This Saturday is the at . It looks like there is going to be some great entertainment including live animals like an alligator and python at Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom booth. Also at the event is great art and craft activities for the whole family, a hybrid vehicle show and tasty treats. You can read more about Earth Day or at the City's website at www.roseville.ca.us/earthday.
