[SDCBC] EarthFair, a chance to help SDCBC & bicyclists

[Jim Baross, Jr.]

Yes. It's happening. And, Yes you can help out.

EarthFair Sunday, April 20th, Balboa Park
The annual EarthFair in Balboa Park is the 
largest free annual environmental fair in the 
world. EarthFair 2008 will be our 19th 
anniversary. Each year, the EarthFair draws 
around 60,000 visitors. Produced by 400 
volunteers, EarthFair features more than 200 
exhibitors, special theme areas, a Food Pavilion, 
a special Kids’ Activity Area, five entertainment 
venues, the Children’s Earth Parade (All Species 
Welcome) and Alternative Fuel Vehicle Parade and 
Show.... and FREE "VALET" BIKE PARKING.

SDCBC volunteers have provided the two bike 
parking areas every year, parking nearly 500 bikes each year.

You can help SDCBC do this. Provide a friendly 
service AND maybe get a free official EarthFair t-shirt.
  Sign up at the EarthFair web site though it's a little challenging...

Description: We encourage visitors to take 
alternative forms of transportation to EarthFair. 
To make this as easy as possible we will have 
free, guarded bicycle parking. The volunteers in 
this area are responsible for assisting visitors 
with checking their bicycles in and out, and for 
providing security. Also, they will be greeters, 
they will distribute EarthFair program guides, 
information about bicycling in San Diego, and answer questions.

Getting There?

Bike Parking

   EarthFair is the largest event that happens in 
Balboa Park, and sixty-thousand people can create 
real transportation problems. If you arrive after 
about 10:30 am, there is often no CAR parking immediately adjacent to the Park.

   Not to worry though ... we have some 
suggestions that can help take the frustration out of getting there:
    * Ride a bike. There is free, guarded bike 
parking available in two locations:

        * On Village Place (off of Park Blvd., 
south of the Zoo) behind the Natural History Museum
        * In front of the Museum of Man, just over the Laurel St. bridge.
    * If you don't want to ride the entire way to 
the park, drive part way, park in a convenient 
spot, and ride the rest of the way.
