LG&E Clean Vibes Trading Post:
HullabaLOU welcomes the LG&E Clean Vibes' Trading Post. The Trading Post will incentivize you as a fan by accepting cans and bottles that can be redeemed for immediate rewards. The cans and bottles become a currency of sort, and the more recyclable items you collect, the more valuable items you can "purchase."
Just bring your compostable or recyclable cups, cans, and bottles to one of the three Trading Post locations and "cash them in." Depending on the number of cans and bottles you turn in, you will receive a certain number of point vouchers. Bring your vouchers to the LG&E Clean Vibes' Trading Post in the infield and trade them in for your choice of a variety of green gifts - from earth friendly health and beauty products and sustainable clothing to autographed band merchandise and food vendor vouchers. Cash them in for small stuff or keep collecting points throughout the weekend to “purchase” something big!
