There are efforts to bring a group from southwest Wisconsin. We are seeking additional participants as well from Ozaukee County and surrounding counties. This will be a day focused on food, art and agriculture in an urban setting with an invitation to rural communities to see, serve and dialogue alongside other participants. It is expected that people with different perspectives and even perceived values will be together. This is what we aim for and encourage all to use this as an opportunity to be curious. This is a family-friendly event.
Please express your interest by signing up early to help us to plan accordingly!
