Roswell Green Expo Returns in February

Roswell residents who want to find new ways to incorporate sustainable living into their homes are invited to attend the fourth annual Roswell Green Expo.

The event, co-sponsored by the city of Roswell and Keep Roswell Beautiful, will take place Saturday, Feb. 7.

The Green Expo’s mission is to educate residents about green practices they can incorporate into their lives and homes. This free, family-friendly event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Roswell’s Hembree Park Activity Building at 850 Hembree Road.

The Expo will feature:

• Green Market, showcasing many local and regional vendors representing non-profit organizations and a diverse array of environmentally friendly services and products.
• Family-friendly cooking demonstrations by Roswell’s own Chef Darwin Felion.
• A DIY rain barrel workshop presented by Vicki Culbreth, Environmental Education Coordinator for the city of Roswell, and The Rain Barrel Depot.
• Favorite Costumed Characters, including “KiRBy” from Keep Roswell Beautiful, EcoMan, city of Roswell’s Roz the Squirrel, and several native species characters from the Chattahoochee Nature Center.
• Keep North Fulton Beautiful’s “SuperPals” Puppet Show
• KRB’s Earth Balloon
• Green Yourself Photo Booth
• Pet adoptions
• Fulton County’s Wheel of Water Game

“The expo is a great way for residents to learn about being green while having fun, and none of it would be possible without the support of our sponsors and vendors,” said Janet Liberman, co-chair of the Roswell Green Expo and executive director of Keep Roswell Beautiful. “The whole event is designed to actively engage community members while teaching simple ways to be sustainable and green. It is the perfect way for businesses and organizations to let the community know that they want to be part of a greener tomorrow.”
