The Homegrown Urban Country Fair last Saturday was an amazing event. Not only did I get to score fresh goodies from my favorite bakery, Companion- I spent the day creating upcycled goods with pals Autumn and Alecia. We froze our butts of for a bit, but the craftin’ kept us warm.
Autumn, creator of the Upcycle Exchange, made these killer hula hoops out of irrigation tubing and tape. Yeah, you know you want one.
Join me this weekend at the Homegrown Urban Country Fair at Tower Grove Park. I’ll be armed with TwIsTeD goodness while camping in the Upcycle Exchange booth with Senora Muertos.
More info on the fair- hope to see ya!
The HOMEGROWN Urban Country Fair
When: Saturday October 3 from 10am – 2:30pm
Where: Tower Grove Farmers Market in St. Louis
How: Exhibits, workshops and demos celebrating modern homesteading and how we’re connecting to good food, farmers and the earth. Hands-on, interactive and educational. Kickass music from Brothers Lazaroff and The Northwoods!
What: What are you waiting for – get involved! If you are in the St. Louis area and want to hold a workshop please email Cornelia at FarmAid.org. If you know of righteous folks doing cool things – from urban farming to bike power to aquaponics and things in between – in St. Louis that you think we should know about – do the same.
Tomorrow, I’ll be at Tower Grove Park Farmer’s Market in the STL Craft Mafia booth. The Market is open from 8:30AM-12:30PM, with free yoga beginning at 9AM. Hope to see you there. Stop by and say howdy (:
Saturday mornings are meant for shopping and stuffing your face with baked goods. You can do both this Saturday at the Tower Grove Farmer’s Market in (of course) Tower Grove Park. I’ll be slumped over in my camping chair twisting wire in the STL Craft Mafia booth all day with Miss Lemon, Suzanne Shenkman, Rodeo Revival and Hypercraftive. The sun may be bringin’ the heat, but the fountains on the other side of the market are prime for refreshment. So stop by, grab some homemade lemonade and get yer shop on.
