One of the best end of summer celebrations in town is the Seattle Tilth Harvest Fair. This year’s theme is “celebrate local food,” and they have a little something for everyone, including:

• Live music all day long – don’t miss Family Square Dance with Charmaine Slaven calling (1:15pm.)
• City chickens, mini-dairy goats, and Master Beekeeper David Mc Bride.
• Free workshops, including “Why Compost is HOT”, “From Local to Global: Sustainable Food Choices,”  a wild edible plant walk, and more.
• Kid’s activities, including face painting, garden crafts, worm bin exploration, and a parade at noon.
• An organic farmer’s market (Tilth is home to the original Seattle farmer’s market.)
• A “community village” where you can learn about your local non-profits.

The harvest fair is always a fun time, and I’ve had the honor of working with Tilth this year to coordinate the community village participants, so I know it’s going to be great this year! Hope to see you there!
