Local clothing and home accessory designers will attend this activity to show off their repurposed items, along with their exhibits. These include “ScrapTheCatWalk” by Georgia Arlene, a returning festival co-sponsor, and exhibits by John Coburn, Yaa Rivera and Alisen Williams.
During this year's event, the educational area will include workshops on composting, climate change and landscaping. A round table discussion on local recycling and other topics will also be featured. And local dulcimer players, flute musicians and educational and civic groups will perform throughout the festival.
"Our local project is reforestation of our area’s tree canopy, and proceeds from this event go directly to the Tree Fund for our City," founder of the Mount Dora Friends of the Environment Andrea Burr-Yatsuk said. "The organization also supports reforestation efforts in areas affected by natural disasters, such as the wildfires or floods in the western US and in many other countries, through individual members pledging to global reforestation efforts."
