"Where Green is Another Shade of Red, White and Blue"

Idaho Green Expo is This Weekend


By Jill Kuraitis, 5-15-08

Organizers of the first annual Idaho Green Expo are putting on quite a show this weekend, with a downtown Boise festival promoting green thinking, living, technology and materials. 

But it’s no stodgy enviro-lecture.  The Boise Center on the Grove is the setting for this weekend’s event, with over 150 exhibitors showcasing their green products and services.  There will be seminars, demonstrations, speakers, art displays, things for kids to do, live music, and sales of local and organic food.

And with the nice weather predicted, it’s a great place to take the family on the first warm outing of spring.

Saturday, May 17th : 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM
Sunday, May 18th : 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Boise Centre on the Grove –
FREE admission
Valet bicycle parking

The Idaho Green Expo is a collaboration of businesses, non-profit groups, concerned individuals and government agencies trying to promote sustainable products, services and responsible environmental behavior in Idaho. Volunteers include architects, farmers, doctors, builders, restaurateurs, “green” retailers, community activists and publishers.

The impressive list of exhibitors is here. 

Editor’s note:  New West is one of the media sponsors of the 2008 Idaho Green Expo.

If you're there on Saturday, stop by the film festival in the afternoon. I'll be volunteering there.
