Come out and celebrate our 60th Anniversary
Cake Cutting on Saturday - 1 to 2 pm
Founded in April 1965 by visionary leaders like Leo Drey, Davis Biggs, and Byron Schubel, Open Space STL was born as the St. Louis region’s first activist environmental and conservation group. These pioneers recognized the need for action to protect the region’s natural treasures, and their early efforts led to the creation of iconic spaces like Queeny Park, Bee Tree County Park, the Chubb Trail, and Castlewood State Park.
Come out and join us at our booth on Saturday, April 26th and Sunday, April 27th., 11 am to 5 pm both days.
On Saturday, we will have a couple of fun activities planned for you to participate in during the day.
In the morning, from 11 am to 2 pm, we are hosting the Craft Alliance and their team at our booth. They will have a Hollander style Paper Beater machine at our booth. These style beaters, made by Mark Lander in New Zealand, are called Little Critters by Lander, and can process up to two pounds of dry organic matter.
We will be demonstrating how to use recycled cotton items or jeans and turn them into paper.
If you want to participate, please bring anything with a natural cellulose fiber— cotton or linens such as old cotton towels, sheets, jeans etc.
Protein fibers like silk or wool will not work.
At 1 pm, join us for some cake to celebrate our 60th anniversary.
The whole weekend is a great event, whether you are coming for the food, the music, the activities, or the people watching, we PROMISE you will leave a little more inspired about real progress being made to preserve our planet and a little more connected to those on the front lines!
