This FREE annual family friendly event is a fun-filled day of educational activities that help illustrate ways YOU can help protect our local waterways. Hundreds of families come out each year to take the Passport Challenge! Attendees received a stamp after completing a fun game or activity at each of the tables to earn enough stamps to complete the challenge and head out to local businesses to redeem for a special treat or discount. To reduce the environmental footprint we encouraged folks to walk, ride a bike or carpool, bring a reusable water bottle to refill at the water station, only accept giveaways that you will use, and access information online instead of taking handouts.
