It’s good to be green, and this weekend, Grove City is celebrating being healthy and eco-friendly with EcoFest, taking place at the Grove City Town Center on Aug. 19.
The whole family can enjoy information booths, demonstrations, workshops and more in the themed zones throughout the town center. Children can have some hands-on fun at KidsZone, which will feature COSI Science Spot stations, DIY workshops from Home Depot, footgolf games and face painting.
At the art zone, attendees can paint t-shirts, vote in the Grove City Public Arts Program’s youth recycled sculpture competition and play life-size games of Jenga and Scrabble.
Get fit and stay healthy this fall with the help of the businesses and organizations at the health and wellness zone, which will feature information and activities surrounding kickboxing, yoga, massage therapy, lifestyle coaching and more.
