Earth Fair OBX 2012
Earth Day is one of our favorite days of the year. It gives us a great reason to celebrate the ocean and beaches that we love so much.
Last year we raised money for the local OBX Surfrider chapter. The fund raiser was a big hit, and it was great to hand over a check to a very worthy cause.
While not falling on Earth Day, this year we are focused on the Blue Mind conference that we are bringing to Jennette’s Pier June 4-5. I’ve rambled about Blue Mind quite a bit – with more to come :) – so I’ll let you use the above links to jump over to learn more.
So what’s happening on the OBX to celebrate Earth Day 2012? Like the Blue Mind conference, the perfect local for an earth-friendly celebration on the Outer Banks is Jennette’s Pier. That pier was built with all of the bells and whistles you would hope to find on an ocean-loving pier. And as a result, it’s the perfect spot for Earth Fair OBX on April 22.
