ANCHOR LEAD-IN: Fremont’s new downtown event center is becoming home to many community events as of late, its most recent one being an Earth Day Fair. Here’s Kiya with the story.
REPORTER (V/O): Some of the most environmentally conscious members of the community gathered at Fremont’s Downtown Event Center last Saturday for an Earth Day Fair.
Some booths were dedicated to helping the community with recycling and eco-friendly transportation, while others were there to spread the word about animal-related causes and gardening. Ohlone even had its own booth and a local art gallery showcased nature-inspired works from young artists in the area.
There were also plenty of opportunities for kids to get involved in learning more about planet earth, such as art projects and DIY crafts and even bee colonies and worm composting setups to interact with.
This hands-on learning experience not only inspired the next generation to be curious about how they can make a difference, but it also invited the rest of the community to consider their habits and be more eco-friendly in their day to day lives.
Whether you are passionate about flora or fauna, this event had an educational experience for everyone.
If you missed the fair and want to know how to protect the earth and its resources every day, you can visit fremont.gov and explore the environmental services tab.

REPORTER (V/O): Tap into the beat and break a leg. Ohlone Dance is happy to give students a chance to be in the spotlight.
Janel Tomblin-Brown; Director of Dance.
More often than not. I would say 95% of the time it’s exhilarating and how proud? Feeling prideful. Especially because I get to know the students way back in the beginning and I know what they had to do to get to where they are.
REPORTER (V/O): Ohlone Dance has different styles of dancing with their own aesthetic.
Janel Tomblin-Brown; Director of Dance
Or program offers? The very the the normal, you know, jazz, tap, ballet, contemporary. We also offer two styles of hip hop a hip hop and then hip hop, dance culture.
Andrew Misenhimer, Student Choreographer
Every dance is providing a different thing, like the jazz or the jazz dance. I mean, it’s like super fast and like, really upbeat. Um, and then we all, we have like, all the way down to my dance, which is kind of like dark and like, pretty sad, but yeah, so they’re all different and they all provide a different feeling.
REPORTER (V/O): Students enrolled into dance get to have their moment on stage.
Lindsey
Um, it was, it was fun. I wasn’t in as many, so I did get the chance to go up to the catwalk. And it was definitely a cool experience because I got to look at the stage from a different point of view. So that was cool. And I’m also looking forward to doing it again with more dancers.
Andrew Misenhimer, Student Choreographer
I have kind of grown accustomed to performing. So to me it’s just kind of like another, just another day of like doing what I want to do, but I still get enjoyment out of it. And it’s always fun to put on a show and like get audience feedback.
REPORTER (V/O): Janel Tomblin-Brown; the director of Dance, believes team bonding and synergy is essential for overcoming hurdles.
Janel Tomblin-Brown; Director of Dance.
It’s collaborative. We have to work together. Very different from being an individual, working alone, right? And so that experience for our students is paramount, and that’s something that translates to anything and everything.
