Earthday Everyday

Durango’s environmentally conscious convened on the grounds of the Smiley Building to help celebrate Earth Day. The same day each year is used to pay homage to Mother Nature and to the wonders of the planet we inhabit. A variety of muscial performances, including the bluegrass sounds of The Magpies and the energy of Freewill Recovery, helped keep alive the festive mood created by the great weather and phenomenal food.
