Eco Fair

Check out the Classic's first Eco Fair!

Environmental and outdoors groups will be presenting their work and ideas for making this a more joyful and sustainable world. We’ll have presenters at Como Lakeside Pavilion and the Lake Phalen Picnic Pavilion. These folks aren’t sponsors but are attending and presenting their mission and vision by invitation only. We’ll be adding new groups weekly!
