August Market Highlights!
The August market is almost here! We will be enjoying the same weekend as New West Fest this year, so you can plan to make a day of it! Your favorites will be there as well as new vendors.
Live music by Kathryn Mostow at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. A finalist in the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival and the recent Lilith Fair Local Talent Search, Kathryn has been featured on NPR and folk & community radio across the country. Her warm, feminine, and optimistic songs speak of hope and faith, despite the cynicism of our times. Kathryn is a mother, activist, and musician, and strives to weave these 3 threads into her life on a daily basis.
Our local philanthropy of the month is the Riversong Waldorf School, a community in Ft. Collins that comes together to create a unique and natural environment where childhood is honored and great human beings are nurtured through Waldorf education practices. Visit their booth to find out more information about the school and see their beautiful handmade items!
