Vendors Needed

The 2024 Earth Festival will be held on Saturday, April 20, from 10am to 3pm at Milford Central School. Earth Festival was conceived as an opportunity for the environmental community to work together to provide a showcase event to help keep Otsego County citizens informed about environmental activities that are taking place in our region and as an avenue for increased involvement. It is a gathering for learners of all kinds and is an opportunity for businesses and organizations to share their environmental messages, products and services with hundreds of people in a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Last year’s Earth Festival featured more than thirty vendors and exhibitors.
