Columbia Festival of the Arts - 'Recyclebration!'

	(COLUMBIA, MO) - The Columbia Public Works Volunteer Program will  promote art projects constructed out of recyclable (reusable) materials at the Columbia Festival of the Arts scheduled for Sept. 25-26.  
	Residents are asked to help with this project by collecting materials that you, your family and friends would normally recycle or throw away.
	The following items are needed:
*	Colorful greeting cards, paper or calendars
*	Flower catalogs, nature and art magazines
*	Blank leftover address labels (those last few on the last sheet)
*	Plastic 6-pack rings from soft drinks
*	Fabric and felt scraps
*	Ribbon, yarn, lace or beads
*	Other unwanted craft items
*	Unwanted CD's
	These items will be used by children and need to be clean with no sharp edges. Items can be dropped off at the Grissum Building, 1313 Lakeview (one block west of the city power plant and one block north of the Business Loop), Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please place items in a bag or box for easier handling. The last day for collection of these items will be Thursday, Sept. 23.
	"There is a long history of artists using scrap materials in their work. We hope the public will help us provide scrap materials for artists of all ages coming to the festival. These materials will be turned into art masterpieces and saved from a trip to the landfill," says Christine Gardener, organizer of the recyclebration project.
	If you have questions, please contact the Public Works Volunteer Program at 874-6271. Thank you for your interest and support of this recyclebration project.
