Opequon Creek Project Team
Earth Day Festival 2011
Too cold and wet for most vendors and attendees, the Project Team was
successful in that we had five new members sign up and we took names of
several people interested in rain barrels. Our "free trees-free
Tees" brought many people to our booth and we gave out most of the
trees donated by the Eastern Panhandle Conservation District.

Earth Day Festival 2009
On April 18, the Project Team joined other volunteer organizations to
share environmentally themed messages at the ArtBerkeley Earth Day
Festival. Frank Rodgers, CVI, demonstrated the value of using
rain barrels and Gary Sylvester, OCPT, was there to fill orders for
those barrels. In cooperation with DEP, OCPT distributed seeds,
funnels, rain gauges, children's place mats and literature about the
Project Team and its mission.
