First Friday offers green alternatives

First Friday is going green.

The downtown Bryan event, held the first Friday of every month, will have a green theme this week, with live music, an appearance by Buzz the Bee and a free showing of Happy Feet at "dark-thirty" at The Palace Theater.

More than a dozen "green" organizations from throughout the community will be in front of The Palace Theater on Main Street to provide information and giveaways.

A cycling group is encouraging riders to use alternative forms of transportation to get to the event. The Maroon Bike Project will leave for downtown Bryan at 5 p.m. from the Northgate promenade, behind the Dixie Chicken in College Station.

Officials from Bryan's Sustainability Program will pass out free reusable water bottles and 18-gallon recycle bins while supplies last.
