Connecticut Earth Day Events 2011

I am hoping that we can get our boys out to attend one if not more Earth Day events this year. Two years ago we brought them to one at Beardsley Zoo and it was a lot of fun.

If you are looking for some events within your community to participate in this Earth Week and Earth Day, there are plenty out there! Many Connecticut towns are holding some type of event, try and see if you can attend at least one. Visit event sites or call for complete details including any possible fees.
