More about our Featured Artist
Rebecca Peragine...
When it comes to art, Rebecca is a jack of all trades - bouncing from painting to jewelry to metals to body products. Her particular form of collage art happened by accident, thanks to her son, Giovanni. When moving to a new home Giovanni was afraid to sleep alone in his new room. Rebecca pulled out whatever art supplies she had available - everything was still in boxes - and made him a "protector dinosaur". The idea grew and grew. | |
Event Schedule:
12pm - Big Fun, Little Yoga
Yogi Amala Heeter leads a children's yoga activity based on The Little Yoga Book. Yoga is a great activity to help kids (and adults) slow down, stay healthy and breathe and there's no fancy equipment or setup required.

Making Your Own Baby Food
Personal Chef, Jenny Ehrlinger, leads a session on preparing all-natural chemical-free baby food.

3:00 - "Green" Storytime
Laura Anderson, storyteller extraordinairre, will lead a storytime reading some great Earth Day-related books. He was shortish. And oldish.And brownish. And mossy. And he spoke with a voice that was sharpish and bossy. "Mister!" he said with a sawdusty sneeze, "I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees." And of course It wouldn't be complete without Dr. Seuss' The Lorax! We'll have copies available made of recycled paper. Laura will hand out a great "library list" of earth-friendly titles for kids.
3:00 - Panel Discusion
Overcoming Obstacles to Living "Green"
Kermit the Frog contends "It's not easy being green." But this panel begs to differ. The discussion will address simple ways to live more sustainably and how to overcome the hurdles you may face in the process. Panelists: Amanda White, VP of Community Car; Maia Donahue, E4; Meghan Blake-Horst, Absolutely Art & Dane Buy Local; Sarana & John Beik, Roots Wisdom & Eco-Painting.
