Colby Park in Windsor Heights is the setting for this year's event.
Join your friends from UA and around the sustainability community for a summertime picnic and afternoon of networking. During the event, UA will present awards recognizing sustainability leaders in our community. Nominations are now open; submit yours today!
This event is fun, free, and family friendly. Features include:
- A potluck lunch will be served starting at noon; please consider bringing a dish to share.
- UA will present awards honoring local sustainability leaders at about 1:00 p.m.
- Prints from the Lexicon of Sustainability will be on display. UA has been selected as a local curator for these prints and will exhibit them around the city this fall.
- Ames band Hotel Virginia will play a free show.
- We'll have lawn games and activities set up in Colby Park. It's a great chance to meet fellow ambassadors and learn about new things happening across town.
