There was so much to see and do at the 2011 Bonners Ferry Earth Day Fair, some people just had to catch a few winks between booths. For more pictures of the Earth Day Fair and some of the other activities that went on Saturday, click here!
The 2011 Earth Day Fair in Bonners Ferry was a great success over the weekend with over 450 people visiting the Fair. They enjoyed a wide variety of displays and information presented by 32 vendors, including gardening tips, solar energy, fair trade products, wilderness and forestry information, and green living products to name a few.

Kids had a great time making newspaper hats, sock puppets, bean bags and planting seeds.

Everyone in attendance enjoyed live music throughout the day provided by four different and very talented musical groups.

Good Shepherd Lamb Co. kept the gyros and kebabs coming off the grill and were nicely complimented by the all-fruit smoothies made by Under the Sun.

The Fair was sponsored by the Bonners Ferry Chamber of Commerce and received additional sponsorships from 14 other businesses and organizations.

Thanks go out to the large group of dedicated volunteers who helped organize this year's event, and plans are already underway for next year, when we plan to expand the Earth Day Fair to a two-day event r.
