At 7pm on October 23rd, the Portland Food Co-op will be holding the first public event in our new home- the Meg Perry Center on Congress Street!  Please join us to learn more about our work to create a storefront food co-op, and to see The Real Dirt on Farmer John, a documentary about a Illinois farmer who saved his family farm from bankruptcy by starting up a community supported agriculture system. We hope to see you there!

The Portland Food Co-op is scheduled to have a booth at this event and we encourage everyone to come out for a great day in Portland’s community.

The Munjoy Hill Community Policing Center and MHNO is pleased to present MunjFest, a day of food, fun, and frolic all in the name of building neighborhood spirit on the Hill.  They are also partnering with the Greater Portland Landmarks to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Portland Observatory.

WHAT
MunjFest is an Arts and Cultural Family Festival.  There will be plenty of space for free roaming, a kids’ activities area, food sales, art demos and the celebrity dunk tank.  Local musicians will play all day and the famous Dog Talent Show (”Munjminster Dog Show”) will once again fill the winter with hilarious memories.

WHEN?
Sunday, September 14th 2008 - 11am-5pm
