Events and exhibits
GENERAL
The exhibit areas will be set up along the walking trail, so as you walk the trail, you will encounter areas that have many overlapping issues. For example, the section on Green Building will connect with Energy. In fact, since ALL sections, and most all in life, are connected to energy, this connection will be shared at each section. The Natural Resource section will be located very close to the landfill, waste, recycling and litter sections. The Marketplace, for vendors will be located outside the ECOlibrium for you to learn more about what is available to them right here in Faulkner County, and enjoy some food and entertainment.
