Fittingly for an environmental fair, a green carpet was rolled out for dignitaries.
Attendees got free balloons, food and lots of information.
Had a nice chat with Dana Y. Wilson, who is working with the YWCA on development and public relations.
Look for the Plainfield League of Women Voters' forum next month.
Regina Bagley Gray is also president of the LWV for 2013.
Talked about the Green Brook Trail with the bicycle folks.
Admired nearby Oaks and Ginkgos with the tree advocates.
CERT was signing up volunteers for emergency response training.
Empanadas, taquitos and pupusas rounded out the menu at the food tent.
Of course, hot dogs and hamburgers were on the grill.
Friends of the Plainfield Public Library were recruiting. Don't you want to be a Friend?
Shiloh Baptist Church was giving away free books.
Gayle Lewis and Cynthia Slade presided over the book giveaway.

I'm sure the fair was organized and fun and am glad you seemed to enjoy it, but it brings to mind something that has puzzled and bothered me for some time. If PMUA can use the steps of the library for their party why can't they regularly clean the grounds? Why must there be periodic cleaning parties where civilian volunteers do the cleaning up? Given our tax burden, which is huge considering we pay only about 20% of the school costs, I just don't get why the library grounds aren't cleaned by PMUA as part of their deal with the city.
