Ready to put your creative skills to work?
EcoSuperior Environmental Programs is coordinating its first annual Recycled Wreath Contest & Auction as a unique fund raising effort as well as an opportunity to promote re-use and recycling. Local crafters, artists, schools, and community organizations are invited to create a wreath, suitable for hanging on a wall or door, indoors or out, made of primarily re-used or recycled materials. Wreaths will be displayed at the CLE & Sports Dome "Fall Into Winter" Home Show (at the Sports Dome) October 14 – 16. The wreaths will be offered for sale in a silent auction with all proceeds supporting the development of our environmental demonstration house at 560 Red River Road.
