The award-winning documentary LENNONYC will open the da Vinci Days Film Festival with an Early Bird screening at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 12. The film is directed by Michael Epstein, who will be this year’s keynote speaker when the festival officially opens on Friday evening.

Festival volunteers were invited to be a part of the fund aising efforts for da Vinci Days and in return were entered into a drawing for season tickets for the Willamette STAGE Company, a professional live theatre company in Corvallis. Volunteer Doug Markle was the winner. Congratulations Doug!

This year marked the first that Festival volunteers collected compost at the event to reduce waste. Food vendors served food and beverages in compostable serving ware - material made from plant starches that biodegrade naturally. Recycling stations were located throughout the event with friendly volunteers helping attendees sort materials into the right bin. A 2010 Waste Initiative Report is now available.

The results are in for the July 17 Toyota Prius drawing. The contest was brought to you in partnership with the Toyota Motor Car Company and Portland State University.

Over three hundred people entered the contest to drive a Toyota Prius PHEV. Four lucky people will be selected on July 17 at 2 pm in Green Town to drive the car. The Spirit of Corvallis arrives Saturday morning.

Great music is coming to da Vinci Days next weekend. Grupo Fantasma, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Opal Creek, Pseudoboss and more.

Buy your tickets online and enter the IPad contest. But you must make your purchase by July 10 for a chance to win.

The Spirit of Corvallis arrives in Corvallis on July 17 at Green Town for da Vinci Days. The Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle represents a new wave of technology for your personal transportation needs.

The da Vinci Days festival is leading the way in sustainability efforts with the Green Team, a group of trained volunteers who will educate attendees about composting and recycling.

Volunteers and Executive Director Nicole Beachboard-Dodson will host a da Vinci Days booth at the Spring Garden Festival, May 2nd, 11 am - 4 pm.

da Vinci Days celebrates Leo's birthday with the launch of a newly designed web site and the unveiling of this year's festival poster.

The COSMOS theme is the inspiration for this year's poster, and the design will be integrated into poster and promotional designs, t-shirts, and souvenir buttons. This year, a limited edition art poster is available to purchase, with all proceeds directly supporting the festival.

In partnership with local start-up EcNow Tech, Allied Waste, and OSU Campus Recycling, the festival is moving towards becoming a zero waste event.
