The Alameda Zoo will have booths from the community to learn about the earth. Each booth will have various conservational themes. Some booths will have "interactive displays and informational materials that align with Earth Day," according to the city event website.

The Zoo will also host various food vendors. Those interested can sign up at the city website.

The Zoo will also have a butterfly release from students that raised the butterflies since they were caterpillars.

Community members interested in hosting a booth can email Sarah Moody at smoody@ci.alamogordo.nm.us. There is a $30 vendor fee for those that wish to sell products at their booths.
