The weather gods were more than kind last weekend, making this year’s Go Green in the City festival a bright, sunny success! This was my first public festival, and I owe a ton of thanks to my tireless friends & family who helped me set up & stay calm… Matt & Jess from Digital Ephemera Photography were savvy enough to snap a few pictures for me – good thing, because I was so focused on making the table look good, greeting folks & sharing the soapy word that I forgot to take any of my own!

It was a great day, with lots of folks stopping by to chat & sniff & take home new favorites. I grew up in York, & it was amazing to see so many familiar faces. We met a ton of new people, too, & heard a lot of encouraging enthusiasm for downtown York’s revitalization. This is a pretty great city we live in, full of creative, hard-working people, & it’s fantastic to watch it find its feet again.
