	A public festival planned to help expand appreciation for the importance of waterways for human health and conservation of natural resources.  The event highlights free boating, fishing and more.
	Each spring, the Clean Air Fair invites downtown employees outside to learn about the importance of clean air.  For a few hours over lunch, free ice cream, music, and prizes attract a crowd.  Educational booths provide information on respiratory health, green fuels, transportation and more.
