This Saturday will mark the 20th annual Earth Day celebration in Jim Thorpe.

Starting at 9 a.m., events will take place through out the downtown district. To commemorate this two-decade long event, David Holmes, Tom Killingsworth and Connie Cunningham will don colorful costumes and cut slices of what Holmes calls the largest Earth Day cake in Pennsylvania.The donations for the sweet confection will benefit the Carbon County Environmental Center."We're going to entertain children and teach about climate change," Holmes said."We're going to make them laugh a little and maybe cry a little," said the costumed Moon.Along with education on climate change the group will try to persuade local hunters to switch from lead bullets to copper."It's an area full of hunters. You think you're getting healthier meat because it's wild but you're getting lead poisoning from the bullets," he said."Copper bullets cost a little more but leave the bodies clean," said Holmes.The three-sectioned cake was on display at Jim Thorpe's Flow Restaurant and Art Gallery Thursday, decorated with 48 solar powered LED candles."Each candle represents the 5.5 billion years of the earth," Holmes said.The tattooed earth hands on top of the center panel of the cake represents, "what happens to this planet," Cunningham said."The planet is in the hands of the people," she said.The Beatles inspired phrase, "They say it's your Earthday," lines the bottom of the center panel.According to Karliene Zack, her grandson designed the cake decoration with the collaborative concept from the group.The cake will be available next to the historic train station for as long as it lasts.The costumed characters will wander around the Josiah White Park to help raise extra funds for the center."We will be walking for bucks and selling T-shirts," said Cunningham."It's amazing what they are doing up there for very little money," she said about the center.The rain date for the annual event will be Sunday.
