Sustainable September Spokane Update

[Slow Food Spokane River Hall]

Perhaps some of you remember this month-long event from last year...

Sustainable September Spokane is on again this year!  They've created different categories of information, so you can tune in to just those topics you're interested in learning more about.  Check out the 'Local Food' track.  There's a calendar of events, a blog and more!  You can subscribe to receive new info in your in-box too.
