2024 Earth Day Celebration at Core Creek Park
Middletown Township’s Earth Day Celebration is an annual event, sponsored by Robin Kemmerer Real Estate, reminding the community that we all need to be stewards of the environment. The vendors, displays, coalitions, and musicians convey the same message that natural resources are finite and that individual and corporate actions matter. Earth Day activities include kids’ games, music, animals, and local organizations and businesses sharing information on eco-friendly practices. Middletown Township EAC also runs a free tree sapling giveaway to patrons of the event. Our goal is to encourage people to be a positive environmental impact on their community.
