Nov. 29, 2010 Source: Ogden Publications news release After welcoming capacity crowds to the first Mother Earth News Fair in Pennsylvania, the magazine will look to do the same on the West Coast. Mother Earth News, the largest and longest-running publication about sustainable lifestyles, will host another Mother Earth News Fair June 4-5, 2011, at the Puyallup Fairgrounds outside of Seattle. The venue also hosts the Washington State Fair, and attendees can expect a similar experience focused on sustainable and rural living. Another will be added in San Raphael (Marin Co.), Calif., in September. "Seattle makes perfects sense for us, since it's one of our top-five markets for magazine sales and website visitors," says Bryan Welch, publisher and editorial director of Mother Earth News. Dozens of hands-on workshops will cover renewable energy, small-scale livestock, green building and remodeling, organic gardening, DIY projects, real food, natural health, green transportation and related topics. Mother Earth News staff will lead the sessions, as well as editors from sister publications Grit, Natural Home, The Herb Companion and Utne Reader, and other leaders in green and rural living. In addition to workshops, the Fair will host a green shopping pavilion, vendor and livestock demonstrations, a seed swap, children's activities, musical acts, and local and organic food options.
