Goat Fest, Sun May 2, Permies sleep free

This event has come together this week in true Permie style!  There was a need getting talked about and folks just started volunteering, Stone Soup style and voila!  Sorry for the short notice, but that's the way its blossomed!

So it this Sunday, in Seattle, details below... we have a currently empty 2nd house on our city farm property, and if we're not getting rent, we might as well get community karma, right?  Permies coming in for this event are welcome to sleep there Sat night in trade for helping to set up Sunday morning.  Space is limited of course    but likely most folks have plans anyway.

If you're interested and bummed you can't make it this year, probably next year we'll spend time in meetings and do a more traditionally organized event.

ok, can I attach a pdf to this?  Paste doesn't seem to be working properly and you miss the cute pic...

All the best,
Lacia Lynne Bailey &the goats!

I'm so bummed I won't be able to make it out there!

Hopefully you don't mind, but I posted the information on my face book group since a number of my members would be really into learning more about goats, cheesemaking, and just generally taking part in something so cool

Lacia, how did it go?? I just saw this now...I think my forum notifications were messed up!
