 On May 30, 2008, fourth and fifth graders learned about a variety of Colorado water topics. Kids from the cities of Thornton, Northglenn, and Westminster took part in the annual Water Festival at Front Range Community College in Westminster. The event offered a day of fun and educational workshops featuring active learning and hands-on activities. The Festival’s workshops were designed to teach students about water conservation, water chemistry, the water cycle, local water supplies, water treatment, Colorado water law, aquatic wildlife, ecology and more. Six hundred and sixty-four students and teachers attended the event. Thirty-five percent of the attendees were from Thornton schools.
Thirty presenters representing local, state, federal, non-profit, and private businesses donated their time and energy for this event. Among the 2008 Water Festival presenters were professionals from the Denver Zoo, Butterfly Pavilion, Colorado Division of Wildlife, University of Colorado Science Discovery Program, Colorado Water Conservation Board, Metropolitan Wastewater Reclamation District, Great Western Institute, Mad Science of Denver, Ewing Irrigation and staff from the sponsoring cities.
The 2008 Water Festival was funded by the cities of Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster and a grant from the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) through the Adams County Cultural Council and the Thornton Arts, Sciences, and Humanities Council. Front Range Community College also contributed by providing discounted facility rental rates.
