Grey To Green Festival - Saturday, September 15

[Mary_Krupa]

What a gorgeous day for this unique and fun festival. And, what a lovely setting.

I wonder why so few people turned out. I wonder if the marketing was as intense as in the past.  This is a very nice festival and reflects that Youngstowners are concerned about using Mother Nature not abusing Mother Nature.

Very nice to see and me folks from greater Youngstown who do not buy into the pro fracking hype and can see through
the lies about this process the pumps toxic chemicals into our ground....
