Spring Fever at Earthfare March 28
The City of Knoxville’s Solid Waste Office and Earth Fare will hold a “Spring Fever” environmental awareness event at Earth Fare’s Turkey Creek location from 1-5 pm, on Saturday March 28.
A variety of fun and educational activities are designed to show people how to reduce, reuse, recycle and revitalize this spring.
