Recycle Revival 2024: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, REVIVE!
Contributed by Terry Koch
What is a “Recycle Revival”, you ask? No, we don’t all stand around holding hands and chanting how great recycling is for the earth, although it is. Recycle Revival is an all-day music festival in the mountains, with performances by Alaska’s favorites; Carhartt Brothers (The “Bobs”), Braided River,
Denali Cooks and The Roland Roberts Band. In addition to live music, there is also a silent auction with cool stuff, food trucks, a beer garden, and lift rides up with a beautiful hike down. This is truly a family friendly event. Everyone is welcome!
We always strive for zero-waste events, so if you have a reusable container and/or sustainable straw to consume your beverages with, please bring them along. And a folding chair or blanket to sit on.
If you don’t own any of these items, they will all be available to bid on in the silent auction. Be prepared to live a sustainable future! Bring your own drinking vessel and receive a free sticker! Or count the exclamation points in this exciting article and get a free sticker!!
Hint: there are two in that last sentence! And it’s not too late to donate to the silent auction. We are accepting items until May 25th, at the VCRS office.
