Join us for the Kimberton Green Fair! This Saturday, April 2nd!
Taking place on April 2nd, 2011 at the Kimberton Waldorf School from 10 AM - 2 PM (410 Seven Stars Rd, Phoenixville, PA 19442)
In our fast-paced world, we often don't take the time to get to know our neighbors. Our 2nd Annual Kimberton Green Fair is an opportunity to change that. Meet local farmers, green business owners, holistic practitioners and artists, gather samples of eco-friendly products, learn about the work of local non-profits, participate in a yoga activity, learn about Sustainable Medicine, relax with local acoustic music, and most importantly, spend time with family and friends. This is a true COMMUNITY event, and is FREE FOR ALL! Enjoy an organic lunch for only $5 to benefit the Food for Thought Program at KWS. Hosted by the Kimberton Waldorf School, and sponsored by Kimberton Whole Foods.
