Living Green is not a Dream
Posted by Sprouts Staff
The First Annual Living Green Fair was held at John U Lloyd Beach State Park in Dania Beach, FL on November 14th and 15th. The fair went a long way to show the people of South Florida living green is not a dream. Many companies attended the weekend event showcasing everything from consumer products to industrial and commercial industry green alternatives.

Sprouts, a proud event sponsor, provided eco-friendly Plantable Seed Paper Bookmarks for the goodie bags handed out to fair attendees. Sprouts would like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to see us. Our Sprouts Team was hopping at the Living Green Fair with attendees flocking around our booth. We definitely created a buzz and had an amazing time talking to the people about our plantable seed paper products including greeting cards, bookmarks, and boxes. We made many friends at the event and look forward to growing new business.
Sprouts donated an event booth to Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, Inc., a non-profit organization that sends “we care” packages and letters of encouragement to our deployed men and women in the armed forces. “The Living Green Fair provided a platform for Forgotten Soldiers to raise funds and awareness for their worthy cause,” said Sharon Quercioli, Sprouts president. Fair attendees generously contribute funds while children took the opportunity to write a letter to encourage our soldiers.

Another point of particular interest at the Living Green Fair was the Wyland mural. Wyland, a renowned environmental artist, created an impressive ocean scene mural enlisting the help of many youngsters of all ages. Wyland is the founder of the Wyland Foundation, an organization which strives to teach children and families the importance of preserving the ocean and waterways. The Wyland Foundation teaches these values through public art programs, classroom science education, and live events with a goal of giving children the tools they need to be creative, positive, and solution oriented.

“The Living Green Fair was a great success and a lot of fun for both sponsors and attendees,” said Quercioli. If you didn’t get a chance to come out and visit the Sprouts Team at this event, don’t worry…we will be taking part in many more events through out South Florida. For those of you who did come out to see us, THANK YOU! We can wait to see you all at our next event.
