Organizations participating this year are Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia, Cheat Area Public Library, Community Coalition for Social Justice, Empty Bowls Monongalia, Milan Puskar Health Right, Mon Chapter of the Sierra Club, Mountain People's Co-Op, Spark! Imagination and Science Center, and the West Virginia Botanic Garden.
