The festival officially opens at 11:00am with live music, a wide array of creative children's crafts using recycled materials, fabulous "green" shopping, and more than 80 exhibitors eager to share best practices on energy conservation, building, transportation, recycling and waste management, and responsible stewardship of our air, land, water, wildlife and other natural resources.
At noon in the library courtyard, the Wilton Tree Committee will recognize the 2013 Steward of the Year at its annual ceremony. First Selectman Bill Brennen will open the ceremony, which will honor Young's Nursery for its long history of service, volunteerism and generous donations of plant material to many Wilton High School graduations, the Wilton Library and the town as a whole. Mr. Brennan will also attend the Neighbor to Neighbor Ribbon Cutting during which Wilton will be awarded a new plastic card charging station as a result of the many Home Energy Solutions Audits and other upgrades undertaken by residents.
The festival will sprawl between Town Green and the Wilton Library presenting everything from the latest electric and hybrid cars to a huge, interactive Earth Balloon sponsored by Deloitte and 17-foot tall Farmer created by student artists at Wilton High School. Live music will fill the air while organic and locally grown foods promise to satisfy hungry eco-enthusiasts. Back by popular demand, Skinny Pines Pizza will bring their mobile wood-fired brick oven and create deliciously original pies reflecting our local landscape using seasonally sourced ingredients. This year, the pizza gourmet is unveiling a special Wilton Go Green pesto pie created especially for the festival.
Wilton's own Green Leaf Organic Cafe will be on hand to quench your yearning for something sweet with a delicious sampling of their decadent and savory desserts and pastries. In addition to their traditional French bakery goods, this European-style cafe --known for their freshly baked breads and organic soups -- will offer turkey, veggie and ham sandwiches as well as salmon, chicken Caesar, and fruit and nut salads.
Want to take whip up delicious, healthy food at home? Grow your own vegetables, herbs and berries with a backyard garden. Wilton High School teacher Jim Hunter and students will offer a wide variety of young vegetable plants from their impressive organic garden to help you get started. (The WHS Recycling Club can show you what to do with those plastic pots once your new plants are happily in the garden.) And don't miss cooking demonstrations with Jonathan Mathias of A Dash of Salt Catering and fellow chefs at 11:30am, noon, 12:30pm and 1:00pm.

The light-weight tablet measuring 197.4 and 128.5 millimeters and weighing only 320g, is made up of plastic sporting a big black bezel on its front though which the screen is visible, giving the impression of a digital photo-frame. The top sports the Acer branding in the middle and right side has 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera.
The camera, though usable for making video calls, does not produce effective results when it comes to clicking the pictures or taking IC card. The back of the tablet is done up with black coloured plastic. The back, apart from the Acer branding, is equipped with a small speaker grill and certification labels.
A Micro-USB port is located at the bottom with a slot for a micro-SD card that is covered with an insert, while the 3.5 mm headset jack sits at the top of the device. The volume rocker and the power/sleep button, also done in black plastic material, have been placed at the right side of the tablet.
As far as the display is concerned, the tablet sports a 7-inch (diagonal) WSVGA capacitive multi-touch screen having a resolution of 1024×600 pixels have a density of about 170 ppi. Though the screen is quite bright but is reflective at the same time there hampering the visibility under sunlight. Even as the text do not appear to be very sharp, the screen is good enough to read the e-books and magazines. The tablet provides a excellent touch sensitivity to its users.
The current offering from Acer runs on Google’s Android 4.1.2 or Jelly Bean. As compared to the Ice Cream Sandwich version that is usually available for the lower priced devices, Jelly Bean is a much more polished thereby enabling a smooth work. The menu responds quickly and reliably and jerks while scrolling through long lists are rare. Apps also open agreeably fast although more sophisticated apps like games need a bit longer to load. Though internet browsing migh be bit slow as opening websites take slightly longer.
