In addition to the cow flap raffle, Dedham’s Green Fair will take place, featuring vendors with cutter edge environmental technology as well as fun, kid-friendly crafts.
Expected vendors include: Whole Foods, Next Step Living, RevoluSun, Green City Growers, Mass Audubon, MIT Solar Car, FireSeed Arts, Earth Frendz, Earth Our Only Home Green Walls and Roofs and Northern Green Wind Turbine.
