Come and join the fun of the first annual Olympia Family Barter Circle! This is a community event and we want your support. This one day circle is the seed we are planting for the creation of a future full-weekend barter faire. Bring your barterable goods or skills and a dish for the potluck lunch. There will be music and skill shares. Everything is FREE!. Think local, sustainable, and reusable. No dogs, drugs, alcohol, or weapons please.

What: First annual Olympia Family Barter Circle

Where: Burfoot Park, Olympia

When: September 29, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Set-up is from 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Why: To support our community, encourage an alternative, local economics system, promote the arts and free education. Come out and have fun!

Seriously!

If that day wasn't the day of the big Homecoming Dance, I'd seriously attend! 

Unfortunately, I'll be busy running 5 girls around getting their hair & nails done, picking up their flowers, pulling out my all my own hair, calming the nerves of those girls while they're all getting ready at my house, taking pictures and providing transportation as needed, if needed!  After they leave for the dance, I think I'll have a drink with Captain Morgan!  ROFL!

I really encourage you or anyone else who attends to share with us how this went!  I think it's a great idea!

yay for bartering

Although we had some sprinkles and a short downpour, people are still up there trading and drumming and eating potluck! My 3 1/2 y/o had a great time with the other kids playing magic spells with umbrella wands. I traded my services with Sirius Woodworking... with a hat rack for a down payment!
