Lots of celebrations of all kinds became Zoom-centered or just disappeared during the pandemic.
Earth Day still happened, just without parties to observe the day. The party is back in Ashland, as Temple Emek Shalom hosts an Earth Day celebration, just on a more convenient day than a Friday.
The temple's party is Sunday, April 24th, featuring music, activities, food trucks, electric car rides, and more.
That part about electric cars usually involves Peter Jorgensen, and he is indeed our guest for a preview of the party, along with TES Board Co-President Sherry Friedman.
Other events that came up in the conversation:
- Earth Day (Friday) Vertical Garden building at Medford Library (plus a library event in Eagle Point
- Bear Creek Stewardship Day, cleaning up the creek in the Medford area, on Saturday
