In addition, the Green Fair will offer a farmer’s market, free boat rides, children’s activities, food vendors and vehicle displays.

For children, the Green Fair will feature a rock climbing wall, human gyroscopes and a face painter. A green passport will also be available at the Lake County Green Team booth that children can take around to various booths to complete a scavenger hunt for a free T-shirt.
