Louisiana Boardwalk hosts Earth Day Expo
BOSSIER CITY (April 21, 2009) – The Louisiana Boardwalk is "Going Green" for Earth Day this year with their Earth Day Expo. The five-day event is presented by Chesapeake Energy. Beginning Wednesday, April 22 and continuing through Sunday, April 26, the Louisiana Boardwalk is welcoming vendors onto property that feature organic or earth-friendly products.
"We are thrilled that we could partner with Chesapeake Energy in trying to raise awareness to this day so that people will make a difference in their every day lives. Here at the Boardwalk we’ve switched to fluorescent or LED lighting whenever possible to use less energy here on our property," said Boardwalk Property Manager Ray Tromba.
The opportunity to win free tickets to the new Disneynature film Earth will be available at Regal Cinemas, and live entertainment will be featured all weekend on the entertainment stage under the Texas Street Bridge.
On Saturday, April 25th the national GOT MILK tour will be on site giving away free milk moustache photos, free milkshakes and free samples of milk. There will also be select retail stores where guests can register to win tickets to the Kenny Chesney concert in May. Also during the five-day celebration, select stores including Chocolate Crocodile, Kitchen Collection, Pretty Cosmetics, Yankee Candle, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Destiny Day Spa and Earthbound Trading Co., will have exclusive Earth Day special discounts. Each evening of the Expo at 6:30 p.m., the landmark feature fountain at the main entrance will glow green in honor of Earth Day with the Earth Day Expo fountain lighting ceremony.
"We're pleased to participate as a sponsor of the Earth Day Expo activities at the Boardwalk," said Kevin McCotter, Director of Corporate Development - Louisiana at Chesapeake Energy. "The commercial, environmentally-friendly, bi-fuel truck we have on display is the perfect example of Chesapeake's support of Earth Day Expo's goals and objectives."
