Blues for Food

I just stumbled across this awesome event and wanted to share it with you! If you are in Seattle, WA this Labor Day, check out the Blues for Food Fest. It’s right in line with many of the events that we support… Farm Aid & Bonnaroo, to name a couple – we love food and music together! (I have a feeling this isn’t as big as either of those 2 mentioned events… but I looked at the pictures of the site, it looks wonderful!)

“Our goal is to have an organic and entertaining blues alternative to Labor Days overpriced or hard to get to events, one that serves to preserve the Blues and entertain families and their loved ones. We also strive to raise awareness of communtiy gardens and the foodbank gardens that voluntarily grow 40,000 pounds of fresh organic produce that is donated to local area foodbanks, meals on wheels programs and women and children shelters. By promoting and sustaining the blues artists,their passion for blues and their commitment to life, love and giving back to their communties, we hope to create a special relationship between musical networks and food networks. We believe that together we can reap a flavorful harvest.”

What a wonderful mission! I wish I could be there. If anyone attends, please tell us all about it.

Second Annual BLUES FOR FOOD FEST, Saturday, August 30, 11 AM until 7 PM at Magnuson Park Amphitheatre & P-Patch: Proceeds Support P-Patch Trust, a non-profit organization that works to prevent hunger by promoting community gardening in Seattle and by supporting programs that distribute food to those in need and help people grow their own food.
