EVENT SPEAKERS“Living green” is not just a catch phrase anymore. It's the direction more and more people are taking as the importance of protecting the environment stays in the forefront. Now “living green” means making changes to our lifestyles - changes that are environmentally friendly and sustainable.
To further these efforts, The Siuslaw News, KCST Radio and the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce are organizing Florence's 8th annual Green Fair.
The Oregon Coast Humane Society and Thrift Store will be running a Give & Take » event at the 2017 Florence Green Fair.
You can donate small items such as – books, dvds/cds, small furniture, appliances, clothes/shoes, toys etc.
How it Works...
Bring your unwanted items to the Florence Events Center beginning at 10am. We will tag your item with a value and give you a voucher for that amount. Find another item of equal or lesser value and give it a new home. No cash refunds, this is a simple exchange. You may find an item valued at more than your voucher, and in that case you would pay the difference. All proceeds and leftover items will be donated to the FAHS Thrift Store.
