Hello Sustainable Puyallup!!
The Mother Earth News Fair is coming back to the Puyallup
Fairgrounds this weekend! This is a great time to carouse about
sustainability topics in the area.
Check it out here: http://www.motherearthnews.com/fair/Puyallup.aspx Sat June 2nd, 9am-7pm Sun June 3rd, 9am-6pm BOOTH STAFFING: We will have our own booth outside, near-ish the NW Ecobuilding
Guild (remember the awesome workshop space with all the straw
bales?) and our sister groups Self-Reliant Community Graham and
Sustainable Tacoma-Pierce.
Can you help staff the booth? I can get you a free entry to the fair... SETUP: We will be borrowing a pop-up canopy tent and will need some
decorations, chairs, tables, etc. If you can help with any of that,
please let me know. ;)
Ideally we'd assemble a small crew of us who can do setup on Friday
for a half-hour or so.
BIKE TO THE FAIR: There will be a bike ride on both days to the fair, so please meet
up with us and don't worry about parking or traffic at the Fairgounds!
Those rides will start at 10:15 in Sumner, and 10:45 in Puyallup,
then to the Fair. Find more info at the end of this message.
BIKE TOUR AFTER THE FAIR: We'll meet at the Gold Gate after the Fair gets out on both days.
While staffing the booth we'll be encouraging anyone with a bike to
join us on this tour to check out gardens, raingardens, and other
cool things around Puyallup. Riders and toursites are encouraged.
US AT THE FAIR: Of course there'll be ongoing locals activity at the Sustainable
Puyallup booth, I also wanted to highlight some of our members
(people on this email list) who will be hosting workshops.

Mother Earth News Fair 2012!
Thursday, April 5, 2012
Sustainable Puyallup's Monthly Bookclub
has been awesome.
Tonight we're meeting at Lydia's to discuss Twelve-by-Twelve. It's a really great book!
This winter we've also read Made from Scratch, Harvest for Hope, and Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology. What a great group of people and how fun to be learning together!!!
If you'd like to get involved, want info about tonight's meeting, and someone is forgetting to post regularly here, check the Sustainable Puyallup facebook page. Someone usually creates an 'event' for each bookclub meeting.
