One will be a fundraising event happening within the next 2 weeks. Jen and some of her friends will be playing a show at The Crows Nest to raise funds for the big event which will happen in late September. Starting Monday, she and I will be approaching local businesses to ask for sponsorships. We are already receiving inquiries from vendors who wish to participate. Either Saturday or Monday, Jen and I are gonna go down to the green, draw up a map, and figure out how many vendor spots we need to fill. Potential vendors: please be patient and don't forget about us. We have a LOT of organizing to do. Jen has more experience at this than I do, as well as a lot more connections. This is a learning experience for me.<br /><br /><br />I encourage you all to try and organize events in your area. It doesn't have to be a big event, it could even be a house party or barbecue. The main focus is to share information and wake people up.<br /><br /><br />We will be working on pamphlets, etc to distribute, and if you have any ideas or are willing to take the initiative and develop something yourself, DO IT! Keep us updated!<br /><br />Thanks to everyone who has shown interest and helped out. It's only day 3 of this project and it is growing steadily. We need more funds, but we are doing everything we can to make that happen.<br /><br />I will be making t shirts starting this weekend that should be ready by next week, so keep an eye out!<br /><br />Crafters, musicians, farmers, activists, and speakers: GET IN TOUCH!
