This is a last minute reminder that tomorrow we’re having our Educators’ Open House. The event runs from 1-4 pm. From our events page:

Join us for an Educator’s Open House at the Lynden Sculpture Garden. This event will provide local educators with an opportunity to learn about our year-round educational programs, visit our art studio, outdoor learning center and picnic area, and join a docent for a short tour of the outdoor collection. Light refreshments will be served, and a free field trip will be given away!

This event is free, but pre-registration is strongly encouraged.

This year’s National Slow Food Day of Action, “Dig In! Break Ground, Break Bread,” is Saturday, September 25th, and Lynden is celebrating by hosting a resource fair from 1-4 pm that highlights the work of local food activists, organizations, and vendors. The slow food movement envisions a world in which all people can eat food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it, and good for the planet. Our fair will offer an opportunity to learn more about slow food, find out what local organizations are up to, and sample some of their wares.

Over the next few days, I’ll be posting a little about our participants. First up is Slow Food Wisconsin Southeast.
