If you were looking for me last weekend, you would have found me here. I and seven Storey authors journeyed to Seven Springs, Pennsylvania, for the first-ever Mother Earth News Consumer Fair. One of the organizers told me they were expecting at least 8,000 people to descend on the Seven Springs Resort for the weekend; in my estimation there were at least that many, just on Saturday. It was huge! Storey's authors spoke on sustainability; crafts; cooking, including preserving and canning; and animals. Here are some photos — but these are only a tiny piece of this amazing weekend:

and heritage veggie guru William Woys Weaver

You'll be seeing some posts this week and next from other attendees, but for my part I was thrilled to be included in this event, which I hope will be a yearly fixture. Go green!
