we went to the fair today
the birds and beasts were there
as well as farmers growers herders historians ecologists and more
there was an abundance of hand-spun and hand-dyed fiber and yarn that seduced my imagination
knitters
weavers spinners
plant and lichen dyers
music
parades
exhibits and demonstrations
speakers speechifying tents and policy wonks
children and families young and not so
hippies old and new and wanna be
all came out for the 33rd annual

sponsored by the Maine Organic Growers Association
The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), formed in 1971, is the oldest and largest state organic organization in the country.
Mission: The purpose of the Association is to help farmers and gardeners: grow organic food, fiber and other crops; protect the environment; recycle natural resources; increase local food production; support rural communities; and illuminate for consumers the connection between healthful food and environmentally sound farming practices.
this might just be the most laid back
family-friendly
eco-conscious fair ever
the food was great
the weather sublime
Eileen and I reveled in every moment
but i didn't take any photo images at the fair
these quilt photos have little to do with the text
except as diversion for my rambling about this lovely day
