Enviro Fair

sponsored by Think Blue and Chevy

Enviro Fair is over for 2009. We learned a lot about how to live well, but live green, and we hope you did, too! We have left the information about the 2009 event so that you'll have an idea of what it's all about. Please check back about April, 2010, for information about the 2010 Enviro Fair!

Enviro Fair will be Saturday, June 20, in the Paul Ecke Jr. Flower and Garden Show. We invite you to learn more about the importance of recycling, sustainable living, pollution prevention, conservation, and buying recycled content and environmentally friendly products.

Among the attractions will be:

• Exhibitors with environmentally friendly products



• Eco-Fashion Show with great-looking clothes made from easily renewable fibers such as bamboo



• Non-profit organizations helping us learn new ways to take better care of our world



• Kids' World where kids can decorate a reusable tote bag for free, between noon and 7:00PM. They or their parents can use this tote bag when they shop, instead of paper or plastic.



• Informative speakers. Please scroll to the bottom of the page for the schedule.

What do you get when you mix construction, comedy and music? Chicago native Eric Stromer, host of the hit HGTV show "Over Your Head," author of Do-It-Yourself Family, and one of People magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive."

Eric will be the special guest speaker for Enviro Fair. He will talk about "Green Design and Building Alternatives" at 1:00PM and 3:30PM on the Flower Show Stage.

Eric's entertaining do-it-yourself advice and infectious personality have won the hearts of millions of viewers nationwide! He is a spokesman for SEARS/Craftsman Tools and can be heard regularly dishing out home improvement advice to listeners of Adam Carolla's nationally syndicated radio show. Prior to joining the HGTV family, Eric starred on TLC's "Clean Sweep," NBC's "Three Wishes" and as a special correspondent for the syndicated entertainment newsmagazine The Insider. In 2008, Eric completed recording his first full-length country music album in Nashville, which will be released later this year.

As the host of "Over Your Head," one of HGTV's top series, Eric comes to the rescue of homeowners who have tackled a home improvement project that failed miserably! Saving rooms, homes and potentially marriages, Eric and his team guide the homeowners' projects to completion every week. You never know when one of Eric's alter egos (such as knitting guru Granny Stromer) will show up to join in on the fun!

Enviro Fair is sponsored by Think Blue, City of San Diego Storm Water Pollution Prevention; and the San Diego County Chevy Dealers.
