GreenSpotting with Guster
1 June 2010 by Tim in Environment
Pittsburgh is honored to have been selected as North America’s host city for United Nations World Environment Day on June 5th.
“June 5th? Isn’t that during Three Rivers Arts Festival,” you ask?
Why, yes. Yes it is.
Because of this fortunate coincidence, we have decided to encourage as many Festival patrons as possible to be green using a program we call Green Spotting. The way it works: We, the Green Spotters, look for you, the patrons, at the Festival. If we spot you doing something green, you will be entered to win a prize of your choice. It’s easy!
Guster is our headliner that evening and the environmentally-conscious group has been nice enough to offer some prizes to amp up the effort. A few lucky greenies will win a Guster prize pack, including band merchandise and the chance to meet Guster backstage after their show. The grand prize winner will receive a signed guitar from the band! In addition, the Trust will have prize packs offering great Cultural District discounts.
So remember: If we spot you riding your bike, using a reusable water bottle, recycling or composting, utilizing public transportation, or anything that makes the Festival greener, you’ll have a chance to win some awesome prizes.
If making Pittsburgh, North America, and our world a better place to live wasn’t enough incentive already, this certainly should be.
That’s a cool idea, when does the concert start ?
There’s music on the Dollar Bank Stage pretty much all day on Saturday. The Guster show is at 7:45.
What happens with the show if it is raining?
@Peter – We’re a rain-or-shine Festival. That said, severe weather like thunderstorms can shut us down. For today, it looks like the bulk of the storm action will be past us by 6:30 or so, so we should be ok for tonight’s show.
Cool. Thanks for getting back to me.
Any update as to whether the concert is on or off??
Is guster cancelled tonight??? That’s the rumor.
Guster is NOT cancelled. The weather from this point looks to be much more reasonable.
That rumor would not survive Mythbusters. Guster is on unless we say it’s off!
