> Our Earth Day Celebration was exceptional!  The day was sublime,  
> unlike the rain last year!  Tiny kids
> played on the green, the music was fine--thanks to The Method,  
> Coloma Celtic, Clan Dyken, Harvest, and
> the People's Freedom Choir.  Thanks to Michael and Christine Knapp  
> for making that happen!
> There were about twenty booths of local craftspeople and  
> businesses, nonprofits and agencies; everything
> from biodiesel to Fair Trade coffee, hemp products to animal  
> rescue--with several friendly dogs participating.
> Cozmic Cafe's new owners were there with wraps and muffins, and ran  
> out of food.  Linda Howard and
> Lynette Applebaum did all the booth organizing.  And, of course,  
> our Green Party booth.  We registered three
> new Greens, got many signatures for the minimum wage petition, and  
> sold several t-shirts.  Our new and
> beautiful hemp t's were much admired!  Thanks, Michael Borenstein,  
> for all the work of ordering them!
> Placer County Greens even sent a booth, and our Assembly candidate,  
> Jerry Fritts, was there to talk one on
> one with people.  Chris Spear created great signage, and we hope to  
> have pics for you to see on the website
