Photos: Davidsonville Green Expo Lures Loads of Locals

If we could’ve looked at Davidsonville from space on Saturday, it probably looked greener than usual. That is because it was the third annual Davidsonville Area Civic Association Green Expo, where local merchants and vendors set up booths to help residents “go green.”

There were energy products like solar arrays and geothermal drilling companies, rain barrels available for purchase and Eco-goats who help clear invasive species without the need for heavy equipment. There were giveaways, including trees and recycling bins plus activities for the children like face painting.

The South River Source had a booth (we’re green because we don’t print or make deliveries of our publication). We had a prize wheel and mystery boxes that included prizes from local businesses like Killarney House, Greenstreet Gardens, Homestead Gardens, Renaissance Yoga, South County Cafe, the Hunt School of Irish Dance, and the Davidsonville Country Market.

Many thanks to Lara Mulvaney who tirelessly sets up the Green Expo each year. Thanks also to the local businesses who supplied our prizes and the door prizes to expo attendees.

But most of all, thanks to the hundreds of people who stopped by the booth to chat. It was a great way to get out from behind the computer and meet our readers.
