Event Date and Location

The Pleasanton Green Scene Fair is being held on Thursday, October 21, 2010 from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm at the CarrAmerica Conference Center located at 4400 Rosewood Drive in Hacienda. The Pleasanton Green Scene Fair has been specifically designed to make it convenient for nearby employees and residents to attend. Jointly hosted by Hacienda and the City of Pleasanton, the event will feature over 75 different vendors specializing in green practices in six main categories: Air, Water, Waste, Energy, Commuting and Transportation, and Healthy Homes and Health Living.

Exhibitors

The fair will allow you to visit green and sustainable businesses and organizations who will provide information on energy efficiency, alternative commute options, water conservation, recycling, and locally-sourced produce. These companies and non-profits are dedicated to saving you money while helping you reduce your energy usage, conserve water, recycle everyday waste, find alternatives to individual commuting, and provide access to local, organic fruits and vegetables. Attendees can learn about green strategies for everything from installing solar panels to getting rid of aphids in the garden. Representatives from PG&E, StopWaste, and other organizations will be on hand to share conservation and recycling information, while lunch will be available from purveyors of organic and sustainably farmed foods.

Lunch

In addition to green products and services, two food vendors will be on hand who mix the art of good food with sustainable dining practices. A tasty lunch selection will be available for purchase at the Pleasanton Green Scene Fair from Faz Restaurant and the Courtyard Cafe. Faz will feature a delicious Mediterranean box lunch consisting of chicken or beef Kabobs (or a vegetarian option) and aromatic Basmati rice along with baklava dessert and Sour Cherry Lemonade. You can pre-order from Faz online at: www.fazrestaurants.com/green_scene.html. The Courtyard Cafe will offer an assortment of gourmet sandwiches, wraps, soups, salads and side dishes in addition to cold drinks and snacks.

A treasure hunt and raffle of green-related prizes will add fun and suspense. Attendees simply visit exhibitors and sponsors and get their Treasure Map stamped by the booth and then fill out their contact information and drop the map in the raffle box to win such prizes as: gift cards for exhibitors businesses and local attractions, movie tickets, gift baskets, wine and safety kits.
