This year the city of Dover will be celebrating its 25th Apple Harvest Day with a new and exciting emphasis on green initiatives. Along with the standard food, games and music, this year's event will feature a Green Marketplace, with tables and booths featuring the Green Alliance, Simply Green, SEA Solar Store, Acorn, and more!

Shannon Hill from Simply Green will be leading an all-day volunteer recycling initative -- the first of its kind in the history of Apple Harvest Day -- with over 30 volunteers slated to help make the event as green as possible. Hill will also be giving a joint presentation along with Waste Management about the two companies' commitments to helping sustain the local green movement.

First organized in 1985 by a small group of downtown merchants, Apple Harvest day attracts over 30,000 visitors to downtown Dover every year, and this year is expected to be the biggest and best yet. So be sure to stop by and check out the Green Marketplace on your way to grabbing a donut and cider!
