something to think about .. a Cascadian Bioregional Event?
I just got a forward of a forward that reached me about a center focused on the Dom (Gypsies or Roma who live in the Middle East and Africa) that is using the Dom/Roma flag in a auction to generate money to help finance education for some Dom students (I think a good cause). So I just got it and thought "Hey great idea... maybe we could get some people to make hemp based Doug flags and auction them off for some funding too.. like a Cascadian Multicultural Event or a De/Reconstruction of Cascadian History Fair or even just a Cascadian Bioregional Festival". We could have booths with food, drinks, local crafts, local economy and andsustainability booth. Maybe even a potlatch or salmon bake.
Anyone interested who has been part of an event? Anyone maybe associated with Portland's City Repair or the Burning Man or any events in the past about sustainability? Maybe a Peak Oil booth could be hosted there or an EndCorporatePersonhood table? Can you imagine local microbreweries getting involved from McMinimins to Fish Tail Brewry (with their Cascadian brew). Imagine smoke salmon and local artists. I would suggest making contact with the various tribes (like the Grand Ronde) who share in the cultural diversity of of our bioregional landscape (infact they are its foundation). Imagine local gardeners and nurseries along side a both for permaculture. Or the various salmon groups like Salmon Nation and Cascadia Scoreboard.
So any opinions or ideas?
Remember if you think you could not do anything like this, but love the idea then at least forward the idea to people and groups that might be interested.
the original forward:
Last Days of Dom Gypsy Flag Auction!
