Had a really nice time at our local Earth Day fair. Look, we took a ride around our nature center park. Made the man work with all of us in the cab! There were more activities than I thought, which was nice for the kids. We also had a great time listening to Rocket J, local band. They covered some oldies and goodies. We KNOW the drummer! So cool. He’s actually the father of my daughter’s preschool friend. Almost needless to say, Ollie rocked out big time. Air guitar and all. He wanted to stay and dance the whole time. Daisy, Abby’s friend, invited Ollie onto the stage, but I don’t think he was quite prepared for that, and politely said, “No.”

We went around and visited the various booths. Here are some highlights aside from the local garden club, soil and water conservation district, National Wildlife Federation and local park district.
