The Community Action in Latinamerica is hosting their second Fair Trade Holiday Festival in Monona Terrace.
This year, the organization will to experiment with Domestic Fair Trade vendors; encouraging shoppers to connect their international fair trade purchases with the idea of continuing that minimum "degrees of separation" from the producer when they buy local products. Last year shoppers enjoyed local foods as well as wool and honey.
Save the date and time: Saturday, December 5, 2009 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Send email to "festival" at "calamadison.org" to become a vendor. Only 100% fair trade items are sold.
