Whatcom Skillshare Faire! SAVE THE DATES! August 23rd & 24 - Two days with camping!
"Share your skills – Trade your wares”
The Whatcom SkillShare Faire – a fun festival about teaching and learning all kinds of useful & practical resilience skills. Years ago, lots of people knew how to repair & sharpen tools, make a braided rug, raise chickens, make soap, build a fence, make simple toys, & much more.
The goal of SkillShare is to help revive those skills, showcase some new ones, and provide a place where all of us can come learn from people more experienced in these crafts and trades.
Our August-sunny Faire this year will have two days of family-friendly Workshops and Demonstrations, plus a great lineup of local Musical Talent, tasty local Food Offerings and the ever-popular local brewery Beer Garden and Fermentation Station.
Lots more information at our website! http://whatcomskillsharefaire.org

Sponsors & Volunteers Welcomed! If you have ever been involved in planning a large event like this, you are probably aware of the hundreds of volunteer hours and the costs involved. Local volunteers and generous contributions from our local Sponsors help to support all the benefits the Whatcom Skillshare Faire and Transition Whatcom bring to our community.

The 3rd Annual Whatcom Skillshare Faire is a Transition Whatcom event and with community co-sponsors.
I am with Transition Woodinville and would like to attend and sell Transition Free Press ($1.00) a new 24-page national tabloid newspaper from the UK reporting on stories that matter including news, reviews and features, dedicated pages to energy, the land, people, economy, food, well-being, the arts, cartoons and sport.
How do I register for this? Would I be a vendor?
Thanks!
