WHITE BIRD PROVIDES CRISIS/MEDICAL SERVICES AT OCF
While the rest of the country still debates the pros and cons of Health Care, our members of the imagine-nation have been walking that talk for 40 years. As always, White Bird Clinic’s Rock Medicine Program will offer a variety of services to keep you both safe and well 24 hours a day during the entire Fair event. Basic First Aid kits are kept stocked at every Information Booth scattered throughout the Fair site. Beginning Wednesday July1th, at noon, everything from Life Stabilizing Emergency Medical Response to simple sprained ankles and sore throats are treated by our compassionate staff of real-live doctors, nurses, EMT’s, counselors, crisis workers and other care providers. We are staffed 24 hours a day until Monday evening at 6pm to try to fix whatever ails you. Our main site is located right next to the Main Stage but we also have teams stationed near the entrance to the Fair at Odyssey Outpost and our crews roam throughout the event and can be dispatched by radio to any location. You can call to request our help from any Info booth and many other stages and Fair installations like that are staffed by Fair volunteers. We can also be called by any staff carrying a radio, so we are easily accessed. White Bird not only treats broken bones - but also broken hearts and broken spirits! We offer crisis counseling and intervention services with
professional counselors and therapists. At White Bird, we embrace the ethic that Health Care is a right, not a privilege! It is a labor of love and laughter to serve our Fair Family. Stop by if you need us - or call and we’ll come to you!

GREEN SEEDS Once again this year $1 from the base price of ALL single day tickets and $3 from each three-day ticket purchased will be automatically directed to ongoing projects that help the Fair be more sustainable, like Peach Power/Alternative Energy, Durables/Zero Waste and others. In 2011 the entire Green Ticket fund totaling nearly $46,000 was dedicated to developing green features in upcoming OCF structures. Thank you so very much to everyone who helped start this program, it has been a joy watching it grow. Who knows what it will help make possible in the future!

LOST PARENTS Found children are first taken to the nearest Information Booth, then transported to either Child Care or Mellow Place. After hours, all found children are at Child Care. Information Booths are in constant contact with Child Care. If you lost your child (or found a child) please go to the nearest Information Booth or to Child Care (on Sesame Street at the top of the Eight).

One is next to the Fruit Booth at Community Village and the other is located at Dragon Admissions. 4A provides assistance for anyone needing it and is a welcoming committee for all those arriving at the Fair.
