In early April 2007, Linda Crawford and Heather Grace realized that Huron Valley did not have an
annual community wide Earth Day Festival. So with just a few short weeks, they decided to organize
the Inaugural Huron Valley Earth Day Festival and invited all community members to participate!
Linda and Heather began contacting the people they knew committed to the environment and are
building a team to run the Annual Huron Valley Earth Day Festival. The initial Green Team, as they
began to be called, included: Linda and Heather along with Fay Hansen, Ruth Gruber, Laurie Horn
and Charlie Crawford. New members include: Andrea Armstrong, Jennifer Kovach, Mary Bajcz, Ethyl
Rivera, Sarah White, Alison Ellis, Sharon Greene and more. Their goal was and continues to be simple
- to connect the community!
