Join the fun on March 7th at the Alumni Center!
Local food, local talent, and local initiatives will be among the highlights of this year’s Sustainability Fair on Thursday, March 7, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the CH2M Hill Alumni Center on the OSU campus. The event is free and open to the public.
The Fair will feature more than 60 hands-on exhibits, each representing a partner organization or action team of the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition. A fabulous spread of delicious local food will be provided by New Morning Bakery, and attendees will delight to the toe-tapping sounds of the Nick Rivard/Ben Woodman Jazz Guitar Duo.
The entire event will be waste-free, with recycling and composting stations located throughout the facility. Help make the Sustainability Fair a model event by walking, biking, carpooling, or taking the bus to the Alumni Center. Special bike racks will be located on the west side of the building.
