Choices, choices at this weekend's Green Fest

“Red, white, or green? You can go for all three, at least at this weekend’s celebration of all things sustainable. Jon Frey’sbiodynamic vineyard will be pouring away — alongside 190 other exhibitors — at Sat/9-Sun/10′s Green Festival.

If the extensive alphabetical list of vendors gives an apt portrayal of Green Fest’s floorplan, Frey will shack up alongside From War to Peace, a husband-wife jewelry team that creates fashion from dismantled nuclear missile systems. One booth over, Frontier Angel Soap will leave passer-bys sweet-smelling and squeaky clean. Displays of sustainable goodies in other aisles of the Concourse Exhibition Center? Eco-friendly river rafting, passively-powered thermal art, and rolfing, a holistic system of soft tissue massage created by Dr. Ida Rolf.”
