Craft Magazine and Singer are having a contest that rewards partying, reusing, and repurposing - a splendid combination. If you’re a crafty type, the prizes are cool. I’m looking forward to seeing what people come up with for Halloween! You can check out the contest Flickr pool here.

A generous anonymous donor has created a $25,000.00 scholarship fund at Yestermorrow Design/Build School. The donor has urged the School’s staff and Board of Directors to spend these monies before the end of the School’s fiscal year in March of 2009.
This fund will be used for potential students who want and need to take a Yestermorrow course, but do not have the resources for tuition, travel expenses or child care. Those interested in applying should do so as soon as possible, either by visiting the School’s website at www.yestermorrow.org, or calling the School at 888.496.5541. Email questions about the scholarship application should be directed to designbuild@yestermorrow.org.
More information can be found on the Yestermorrow web site.
Also of note, the History of Vermont’s Design/Build movement show at the Fleming Museum at UVM is definitely worth the trip.
Earlier this year, we met two charming and dedicated filmmakers - Anne de Mare & Kirsten Kelly - who were touring with their spectacular “Asparagus! Stalking The American Life“. We loved the movie, and now love the people of Oceana County, MI.
For 30 years, Oceana County, MI has been the asparagus capital of the world. Now its residents and family farms take on the U.S. “War On Drugs”, Free Trade, and a Fast Food Nation, all to save their beloved “roots”.
Asparagus season, we miss you. You can watch the trailer here
There is a screening of the movie this Friday at 7:30pm at The Pawtucket Film Festival in Pawtucket, RI (the night before another big party that’s keeping us beyond busy)
Other upcoming screenings:
Calvin College Alumni Weekend – Grand Rapids, Michigan
Saturday, September 27, 2008 @ 2:00pm
Fremont District Library Food Series – Fremont, Michigan
