We did come and enjoy the music, food, people and the festival this weekend. It was awesome! The music was great, food was incredible and we left with a fistful of information and a gratifying feeling about being part of something good.
The Organic Islands team crashed the Sidney Market on Thursday! Getting a table might take more hand-shakes and hugs but it didn’t stop us from jumping in with the crowd. The Sidney Market was packed! What a great way to display some excellent products and entertainment for our Anacortes neighbors. It was wonderful to meet with past and present Organic Island exhibitors and musicians, and many thanks to everyone that let us display posters in their booths. There were a lot of organic and eco-friendly vendors to court; we’re not just good looking, come check out the festival!
Deb spied a wonderful piece of art by Zuka with an organic, free-range history. “Carnival Chicken” was raised on a local farm with love and attention and her image was overlaid with one of Zanardo Gianfranco’s Venetian Masks (http://www.thevenetianmask.com). Zuka and Gianfranco are neighbors at the Sidney Market and their friendly relationship was the inspiration for some great art! Carnival Chicken is a nice compliment to the Organic Islands logo and maybe we can situate her next to the “Backyard Chicken Lady,” Marilyn Soames when she speaks on the Story Tellers Stage. Zuka raises money to travel to Burma every year and helps care for orphans and people stricken with leprosy.
