Planning is Underway for 2nd Annual Natural Living Festival Ideas Abound for this Year’s Fest!
Since Becki, Tiffani, and Shelly met in January to begin the festival’s organization, several exciting changes to this year’s event are already in the works. One, the festival’s focus is expanding to all of us with concern for our planet. Though a focus is still on being family-friendly, including many children’s activities, more adult themed events and information will be available as well.
“We are excited to expand our audience,” says Becki. “In this day and age, many people are concerned with natural living and ‘going green’ and this festival is a celebration of that lifestyle.”
Another exciting change to this year’s program is the involvement of non-profits. “We want to be more welcoming to those great organizations in our community that support an earthconscious lifestyle, such as Toledo Grows,” comments Shelly, who adds,“This year, we are not charging nonprofits to participate in the festival.” Continued events from last year include informational speaking on a variety of topics, children’s crafts, and a community garage sale. “We can’t wait!” says Tiffani.

This sounds great. Does it take place at a church or where?

The event is held in a large outdoor, fenced in greenspace behind Integration Yoga Studio. It's essentially a non-profit event (although we haven't filed yet).
