The Olympia Family Barter Faire is being created to build community, support a local economy, provide educational opportunities through workshops and skill shares, promote the arts, and work towards local sustainability. Our events will encompass values that reflect a respect for diversity and the vision of a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable society.

What is a barter faire? It is a two-day event where hundreds of local and regional vendors will come together in a family style gathering to barter their crafts, produce, cuisine, skills, and collections of stuff. The location will be in a beautiful rural spot near Olympia. There will be camping and daytime visitors, singing, dancing, music, conversation, and many volunteer opportunities.

OUTstanding!

Olympia's Pride celebration is bigger than ever. Join the festivities beginning Saturday, June 16 and register to be in the Pride Parade Sunday, June 17 with staging at 11:30 at the Capitol Building. There are events all weekend!

Wouldn't that make it a "meta-co-op"? Whatever you call it, this could this be the solution to the problem which seems to face the Olympia Food Co-op at present; namely, that it will potentially be inhabiting a space that is roughly twice as large as it can fill. A meta-co-op could provide an organizational structure within which negotiations and agreements could be made among local co-ops who would like to join in the rehabilitiation of the post-Safeway building in downtown Olympia. A whole bunch of co-ops under a single roof!

Just a thought.
