Mother Earth News Fair 2012!

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.
