The Oregon Green Expo Medford July 3-4-5
Announcing The Oregon Green Expo | Medford Armory: Friday, July 3rd
- Sunday, July 5th, 2009
*Dear Southern Oregon, Medford & Ashland,*
/*Celebrating a Greener Oregon!*/
*“Green” is going mainstream and more people than ever in the
history of this country want to be involved.* As the economy has
dwindled, as individuals and communities wonder where their future
lies, the Green Movement has infused a sense of hope and belief that
there is something that they CAN control.
**The Oregon Green Expo** Our mission is to create a large community
green event and festival. There will be opportunities for those who
want to get involved in green and sustainable practices to learn how
to get started, as well as presenting veteran green practitioners
with some of the latest technologies, products and services available.
This event will not merely be a “walk through” display of green
products and services. Highly knowledgeable and skilled speakers and
panels will provide insight and information into the current and
future state of creating a green and sustainable community. Green
Expo visitors will learn about a range of topics from creating Green
Jobs and Businesses, to Investing Locally rather than Globally, to
things as simple as creating a community garden, weatherizing their
homes, green remodeling and how and what to recycle. And most
importantly - how to connect with their community to collaborate and
empower each other to not only survive, but thrive locally.
Cultural events will create a festive atmosphere alongside the
learning environment of the weekend.The original sustainable people
in Oregon - Native American Indians, will present not only present
their history of “living off and with the land”, they will present
their rich stories, music and dances for the public. Other cultural
music and foods will be available as well.
The Kidz Zone will offer fun and interesting green activities for
children, a Green Teen booth, Local Organic Food activities and more!

in The Oregon Green Expo, owner Bill Sharick, from Bellingham,
Washington, replied that he “loves to do these types of events”.
Bill has enthusiasm for a wide range of Green and Sustainable

the grid” at his home in Washington) and does his best to bicycle
everywhere he goes locally.
