    ECO BLOCK PARTY : The Coalition is sponsoring an Eco-Block Party immediately after the Green Parade. The block party is being held at Veterans Memorial Park, directly adjacent to the Neville Museum. There will also be events at the Neville Museum as the Coalition is teaming up with the Museum this year in celebrating Earth Day. The Neville Museum is planning an environmental scavenger hunt for families. There will be a reduced admission fee for the day. There will be green friendly vendors and activities at the Block Party in celebration of Earth Day. There will be plenty of activities for children to engage in, as well as adults to learn about sustainability and living a "greener" life. This is another great family event.
