Theme

Walt was suggesting that a theme works quite well to encourage participation from guests and also aid in guiding us in finding suitable, supporting vending & information booths.

Some brainstorming ideas were:
one earth, green food, building community, be a part of it, celebrate sustainable food, local, doing it, taking action, support community, celebration of local action, functional and beautiful evolution

And we loosely came up with:
Earth Day: A CELEBRATION OF LOCAL ACTION
