First EcoFair Organizational Meeting

I previously posted that the EcoFair would be moving forward with some changes. The first meeting of those interested in participating in this effort has been set.

Those interested in helping to plan the 2012 EcoFair should come to Chili's at 7:15 PM on Wednesday, May 25.

If you would like more information or if you would like to be involved, but cannot make this meeting, you can contact River Bend at 940-767-0843 or email Joanna of the Sierra Club at redriversierra@gmail.com.

Farmers' Market to Open

The downtown Farmers' Market at 8th and Ohio reopens Tuesday, May 17 at 7:00 AM. Hours will be 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Tuesday - Saturday.

Buying local produce means your food is fresher and picked at the peak of ripeness. Local produce also travels much less between farm and table, reducing carbon emissions.

I know where I will be heading many mornings after my early morning walk with my friend, Sara! I hope to see many of you there.
