...we've been working to get ready for the Isle of Wight County Fair! I've been so busy working with my volunteers to get the Isle Be Green Tent ready, and it all paid off!
We took the children's recycled art from the summer program...
And made a recycled art gallery...
This was inside the Isle Be Green tent at the County fair...
The whole purpose of this tent was to repurpose items (trash to treasure)! Everything inside was made using items we found while dumpster diving in the County dumps!
There is beauty hidden, but you have to look for it!
Do you know what these flowers are made of?
Records...yes, records! Melted in the oven!
We had to educate people about plastic bag recycling...
And the latest initiative is cigarette litter prevention... (yes, my co-worker dug all those butts from the receptacle).
So, here are some more pics for your enjoyment!
Completely repurposed!
But, the best part was when the kids came in to see their artwork! They were so happy!!
Now...doesn't that make you smile? It did for me! Even though it was a lot of work and took dedicated volunteers, it was well worth the effort just to see those kids' faces!
