MIDDLETOWN, Calif. — This weekend the Calpine Geothermal Visitors Center and the Middletown Art Center are joining together to host a community Earth Day celebration.
The event will take place from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at the Calpine Geothermal Visitors Center, located at 15500 Central Park Road, Middletown.
With a theme of "A Healthy Earth Begins With You," the event promises to be an exciting and inspiring event for the whole family.
It will bring together vendors, live music, activities, and more to encourage everyone to take care of themselves and the Earth.
Calpine Geothermal and the Middletown Art Center are joining forces for the second year in a row to sponsor an Earth Day Celebration, promoting the concept that a healthy earth begins with healthy people.
Through this collaboration, they aim to raise awareness about environmental sustainability and the interconnectedness of human health with the well-being of the planet.
The event will be a free community celebration, offering fun and engaging activities for all ages.
The event will feature a variety of exciting attractions, including pony rides, face painting, and the Sonoma Bubble Man, who will amaze audiences with his bubble magic. Get your camera ready to take a picture of your child in a giant bubble.
The Children's Museum of Art and Science of Clearlake will be on hand with engaging activities for kids. A veritable petting zoo with a donkey, miniature horse and a goat will also be there. And the Middletown Art Center will invite community members to participate in a collaborative painting project.
One of the highlights of the day will be the Middletown Community Garden, which will offer tours and workshops to educate the community about sustainable food production and healthy eating. Visitors can learn about companion planting, soil building, composting, and more, and even take home a plant from the plant-a-pot giveaway.
For lunch, guests can enjoy a beautiful and healthy meal prepared by the Goddess of the Mountain, featuring the Three Sisters — corn, bean and squash — which synergistically nurture each other like family when planted together, according to the Iroquois and Cherokee traditions.
The event will also feature the Henny Penny Catering Co., who brings the world to your table with globally inspired menus created with local, seasonal ingredients. They will be featuring Latin-American cuisine and serving a variety of handmade tacos and tamales.
Jesus Christ Fellowship, next door to the Calpine Geothermal Visitor Center and the garden, will host an Adult & Kid's Zone for the community, which will include a jumpy house, billiards and other games inside the church.
Other attractions include live music, a carbon-neutral smoothie station powered by the Blue Zone Project's bicycle blender, and educational booths on water conservation and fire mitigation. The Lake County Jazzercise will host a demo class, inviting attendees to experience the magic of movement.
