Earth Day Weed and Seed Youth Event Scheduled by City's Weed and Seed Organization
The Weed and Seed program is holding a youth event for Earth Day, April 22, from 3pm to 7 pm. There will be about 20 different organizations represented at the event. Each will be offering a hands-on activity, or game, for children to perform to help them learn more about the earth and how to protect it. The idea is to empower children to take personal responsibility for caring for our environment.
At 4pm, there will be a tree planting ceremony. We will have Native American flute and drum players playing for the ceremony. Governor Manchin, Mayor Wolfe and Miss West Virginia will take part in the ceremony. Our premier sponsors of the Community Gardens project, Home Depot, will also take part in the ceremony along with other sponsors.
At 4:45, Moses Honda will be doing a presentation of their new Honda "Insight" hybrid car and their clean diesel car. They will show how the technology works and why it is important. We are also hoping to have Home Depot do some sort of clinic or presentation.
The Original Glorious Church next door to the Barnett Center will be selling home cooked food for a fundraiser for their church. Papa Johns will be on site selling pizza by the slice for $1.50 per slice. All profits from this will go to the Weed and Seed program. The Pita Pit will also be on site offering discounts and free food for those who want healthier fare. They will even offer free delivery to the site for families to eat there. There will also be an opportunity to purchase "Dream Big. Have faith. Act Now" Huntington Community Action T-Shirts for $10 adult, $7 child.
The Little Earth Angels children's community action group will be asking for donations for their Beanie Baby/Webkins drive. Please bring a new beanie baby or Webkins animal to be delivered to the local hospitals children's wards.
TTA will have trolley or bus shuttles from several sites around Huntington to the center in order to promote public transportation as a "Green" idea.
The Re-Tree Huntington group is requesting that people bring in 3 and 5 gallon plastic pots to plant tree seedling in for next season.
