Earth Day Festival 2026 was rained out, but we are deeply grateful to ALL the individuals and organizations who put countless hours into planning and preparing for the celebration.
Many, many thanks!
Great job!
Congratulations and thanks to Johnna Ballinger, Anne Irish, and Karen Bergman, who donned our Notorious R Bee Gs robes and collars to represent Together Frankfort at the annual Spellapalooza fundraiser at Thorn Hill Education Center in August. They may not have won the trophy, but they won our hearts for making such a good effort for such a worthy cause!
Some pics from last year …
The very first Earth Day, in 1970, was inspired by growing concerns about pollution and environmental degradation after a series of environmental catastrophes, including disgusting pollution of the Capital’s Potomac River, and an oil slick on Cleveland’s Cuyahoga River catching fire (!).
Earth Day was promoted as a national “teach in” to raise awareness and advocate for environmental protections. Now, 56 years later, we’re still learning about how to take care of this precious planet we call home.
Like many before them, the astronauts aboard Artemis II have remarked over and over about the beauty of the Earth as seen from space.
