2011 DETAILS

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission's 7th Annual Clean Air Fair

When:  Friday, May 6, 2011 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. 
Where:  Battelle Plaza in the Arena District (the corner of Front Street and Nationwide Boulevard)

*Rain will unfortunately cancel the event.  Please check back for a reschedule date if the event is canceled. 

Each year MORPC plans the Clean Air Fair with the goal of familiarizing downtown employees with information on respiratory health, green technologies and fuels, healthy lifestyles, and transportation choices-ultimately raising awareness of voluntary actions they can take to reduce pollution.  Stop by the event and enjoy free ice cream and music from CD101, enter a raffle to win great prizes provided by local businesses and restaurants, including a new bike from Cyclist Connection.  If your office is not within walking distance, we encourage you to celebrate the theme of the Clean Air Fair by taking the bus, riding your bike or sharing a ride to the event.
