I was just catching up on the Hoboken Reporter and noticed an article, so I just had to help publicize. A brother-sister duo, Katie Welles and Hart Welles, have organized an arts & music festival to be held on Friday, February 5, 2010, 7-11 pm at Grace Van Vorst Church on Erie Street.

The festival will include music, art and other activities to bring awareness to “green” issues and organizations. The proceeds from the festival will go partially to the Friends of Liberty State Park, to plant more trees in the park, and to American Forests, a Washington D.C. based non-profit organization for tree preservation.

Students from different schools are participating, McNair, St. Peter’s Prep, and the Jersey City Public School Visual and Performing Arts program.

Various people and local businesses are sponsoring the event, such as Hudson County Executive, Tom DeGise and Rev, Nick Lannon. I have just written to them both to see if Frogs Are Green can be a sponsor also.
