This year's Ecofest Arlington drew an estimated 5,000 people in attendance. Event goers braved the hot Texas summer to celebrate environmental education and stewardship. To make the event a success, over 90 volunteers assisted with the coordination of the festival.
A special thank you to all of you who took time out of your busy schedules to man a booth, oversee a vendor area or assist with the coordination of other volunteers. A super special thank you to Marylee Thomason for supervising the entire crafting area. I know this is one of the busiest areas and keeping volunteers on task and helping the kids is a huge job. I received so much positive feedback from event planners about how effortlessly the kids crafting flowed this year.
Jay and Sandy Hertzler, I could not have handled the mulching giveaway without the both of you! I know that was a hot place to supervise and I know that spot was quite busy! Carolyn Price, thank you for all of your help at the Information desk and for bringing that first aid kit! Cindy and Stephen Ives, you both probably had one of the hottest spots out there (and busiest). Thank you for supervising the bounce house area! A big thank you as well to Larry Norris, Phil Kabakoff, Jennifer Pope, Sally Miller, Rodney Loewen and Melba Price for promoting backyard composting at our Master Composter tent! Donna Marshal Knowles, thank you for coordinating all of your students who worked so very hard at our crafting booths! John Darling, I know you worked hard at that Arlington Conservation Council tent! Hopefully I have not forgotten to thank everyone. It was a busy day for me and I was running around a lot.
