The City of Lake Forest Park’s 9th Annual Earth Smart Green Fair was a big success. An estimated 400 people were in attendance on Saturday at Third Place Commons, many sporting their green in honor of both the earth and St. Patty’s Day.

The fair offered 20 booths of information about how to reduce chemicals in the environment.

Hundreds of household batteries were recycled and toxic free tips booklets, designed and produced by the Department of Ecology, were given away.

Residents gained valuable information at the workshop presentations by the Washington Toxics Coalition and a Certified WSU King County Extension Master Gardener.

"The City wishes to thank all of the dedicated volunteers who helped with fair logistics as well as all of the local businesses and agencies who presented information at their respective booths."
