Operation Adaptation Offers Two-Day Music Fest for Environmental Awareness
The weekend of April 18 will feature two days of being environmentally friendly. I'm not talking about hugging a tree for two days but rather a huge blow-out of a concert, camping out as well as learning eco-friendly values.
Operation Adaptation LLC. was formed by Nathan Kamsler, a 21-year-old student of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and area resident Ryan Peterson in 2008 with the sole purpose of bringing people together through music to enhance awareness of environmentally friendly practices.
The group formed to raise public awareness of some of the environmentally healthy alternative products and processes that many hard-working individuals and green companies strive to produce.
I'll admit I'm not the most environmentally friendly person but I'm all for spending a weekend being kind to the ground I walk on. Operation Adaptation, a weekend-long festival features musical stylings of Willy Porter, Chinese Fingertrap, Fat Maw Rooney and many of the best roots music, bluegrass and jam bands from the U.S. and Canada.
For each ticket sold, a tree will be planted thanks to Trees for the Future. Compostable corn-based utensils and dishes will be available as well as environmentally friendly vendors will be featured at the event.
Parking is available at the site for $5. In the case that you want the parking fee waived, donate eight or more non-perishable food items for the Hunger Task Force.
