5th Annual Maplewood Green Day Fair

Volunteer | Schedule | Exhibit/Sponsor | Shredathon | Getting There

Due to scheduling difficulties the fifth annual Maplewood Green Day that was planned for Saturday, October 15th has been postponed to Spring 2012 around Earth Day/Week.

Due to the success of our past fairs in educating about green products and sustainable living we had close to 5,000 attendees last year and look forward to continued success in the future.

Our sincerest thanks to all of you who helped Maplewood Green Day shine in past years and had planned to be at the October event.

We look forward to seeing you at Maplewood Green Day in the future!
