That sounds like a great event! I'll go! Any chickens?

There are a couple of resident roosters that live next door at the park district maintenance yard.  And last year someone brought some really unusual chickens to an educational table to show.  Not sure if they were selling them or just showing.  

 

But mostly it's gardening stuff.  The community garden is open to view as well, it's a huge garden with many individual plots and and a good sized food bank garden too.  A few vendors have plants too.  4 different speakers.  Here's the link to the main page so you can see the speakers.

Farmer Fred is kicking things off; he's a great way to start the morning.  Then a chef who will cook produce he picks from our garden that morning, a couple of Master gardeners speaking on compost/ vermiculture and a river friendly speaker.  A little something for everyone.
