The Fincastle Sustainability Committee and the Friends of Fincastle Library are excited to be partnering again on the second annual Earth Day Event and Book Sale to be held on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Fincastle Library. The Book Sale will also be held on Thursday, April 24 (10 a.m.-8 p.m.) and Friday, April 25 (10 a.m.-5 p.m.). The Earth Day event is Saturday only and is free and open to the public.
At the Earth Day event, local experts will have information on bees, composting, solar, astronomy, a community garden, and more. Visitors are encouraged to bring plants, seeds, cuttings, seedlings, etc. to the plant exchange. Mr. Kettle Corn will be selling kettle corn and lemonade. An art table manned by local students will do fun art projects with kids. The event will be held rain or shine.
This is the second year that the Fincastle Sustainability Committee has organized the Earth Day event. This committee is an outgrowth of the town’s Comprehensive Plan, and its mission is to help Fincastle be a community that can persist over generations, enjoying a healthy environment, prosperous economy, and vibrant civic life. The Earth Day event is designed to be fun and informative. Bess Madonna is chairperson of the committee, assisted by members Amanda Schulz, Jonothan McCoy, and Tara Williamson. Reach out to Madonna (bessconcetta@gmail.com) if you are interested in helping with this event or other future activities.
