Screening of the movie "Grow!" by Slow Money, a non-profit dedicated to building and supporting the local sustainable food system. Free but donations requested.

Grow! is a great introduction to local farming issues and why people choose to farm, the rewards and the sacrifices. Two film makers spent an entire growing season with 20 farmers and two apprentices on 12 different farms in Georgia. This is their story.

There is parking located along Jefferson which is surprisingly quiet after 6pm as well as two lots close to the theater. The first one is located in the Bank of Texas in between Zang and Madison along Centre street. The second lot is located behind the theater on Sunset avenue also between Madison and Zang. This is generally an overflow lot that we use for valet services when needed, Jefferson is usually sufficient for most performances.

Three of the highest expenses of your life are your hot water, your food, and your home. That's because they all take energy.

Living sustainably saves energy, thus money, particularly as we transition to higher, and then even higher, costs of that energy

But not all ways of living sustainably are practical. And some sustainable living is most practical (like solar hot water) when you do-it-yourself.

We have three speakers to talk about practical sustainability--all experts in their fields.

Phil Fisher, licensed electrician, solar designer/installer, and owner of Solar Systems Installations, will discuss solar hot water (now often best if you DIY) and hot water by heat pump.

Is your yard work piling up? Let it! Learn the basics of turning that garden debris into garden gold through composting. We cover what to put in, what to leave out, and how to mix, moisten and manage your way to successful soil enrichment. We'll also teach you to use specialized red worms to compost your food waste and create a fertile soil amendment for plants.
