The entire Convention Center, downtown, was filled with myriad people, most of
which were from the same mind-set. It was a truly exhilarating experience.
There was everything from drumming, to Jim Hightower! We got tons and tons of
information on the world of environmentally sound investing, building, solar,
wind, of course organic gardening and even paint which is safe to use with a
house that contains our macaw!

Anyone who didn't go today, please consider going tomorrow. If you ride your
bicycle there you get in for half price. It was otherwise, ten dollars a head.
Well worth it. I understand the Convention Center has signed on for a four year
contract to carry this fair.

Many vendors, and interesting people and products. It's not the "Hot Tub" show,
as most of the Home and Garden Shows have turned into. I mean, HOME and GARDEN.
Does that mean, AS MANY HOT TUB VENDORS as we can find?

So, finally, many people of like mind all assembled together under the same
roof. It gave me great hope.
