Participation in the Festival:
Immediately following the parade, we’ll be holding a fun sustainability festival for all participants and the general public. Reserving a spot in the festival gives you a chance to showcase your organization and connect with audience members in creative ways. To get you thinking, in the past we have seen organizations do some of the following:
· play a toss game with recyclable materials for prizes
· give away items made from recyclable goods
· pass out pamphlets about their organizations and have a sign up sheet to learn more about the organization
This is a great opportunity for you and your organizations. Please sign up as soon as possible by contacting Tyler_Arrigo@uml.edu
