Come on down to the Hootenanny, drop off some unwanted electronic junk, buy a native plant, see an unorthodox marching band, get your picture taken with Captain Planet, see a terrific eco film festival and have a great day in the park.
We will have a native plant sale from 4pm and go until 8:00p.m by EcoAddendum. At 7:00p.m. we will have the Seed and Feed Marching Abominables. At 8:00p.m. we will have a The Captain Planet Film Festival. Captain Planet recently turned 20 years old and there to celebrate will be Captain Planet himself. We are also planning on an electronics disposal drive. If you have any ideas on how to enhance the Hootenanny experience please let us know. FriendsofCandlerPark@gmail.com . This will be a low key non traditional event. We will not be selling libations. However, you are free to bring your own cooler. Just no glass permitted in the park.
The Feed and Seed Marching Abominable

BTW What is a Hootenanny?
In a 1962 interview in Time Joan Baez made the analogy that a hootenanny is to folk singing what a jam session is to jazz. But for our purpose a Hootenanny is essentially a glorified Screen on the Green. May’s movie night was originally planned with an eco-friendly theme in mind. We decided to add a native plant sale to the event to raise funds for the native plants for the 420 Nature Path. To draw attention to the plant sale we added the Seed and Feed Marching Abominables. It was at that point we thought we had something deserving a title. Hence, The Hootenanny!
