2 Days till MedusaFest 2014!

Fantastic things afoot!

Medusafest 2014, as you know, is this Saturday, and we have an amazing lineup of speakers, musicians, and vendors for you!



I wanted to give you a sneak peak at some of the cool folks that will be joining us!

*  Loretta Pyles is one of our favorite people *and* an amazing yogi. She will be offering a yoga class on the front lawn of the church from 11:30 - 12. Learn some deep breathing, stretching and strengthening that will help you manage stress and have more peace and vitality in your life.  All levels are welcome. Wear loose comfortable clothing.  No yoga mat required. She'll have information about her classes, and lots of wisdom about yoga and meditation in general available!

*  Susanna Raeven, from Raven Crest Botanicals, will be offering artisan skin care products, herbal remedies and delicious herbal tea blends -  hand crafted and locally grown with organic methods at Raven Crest Farm in Berne, NY. 

* Deb Consolver will be having a Spring Inventory Reduction Sale that day.  All Tupperware will be discounted 20%-50% . 

* Our friends from Naturelogues will also be there!  Naturelogues will be selling framed and matted nature photography as well as note cards. They will also have information available about their natural history presentations. (We join them at Huyck Preserve events and they are amazing!)

* Medusa's own Kerry Keeny will be offering henna tattooing - and she is an incredible henna artist!

Mountain Winds Farm's Randy Grippin will be in attendance, selling his famous hilltown maple syrup, maple goodies, eggs and chicken!

And many more!! I am inserting a tentative schedule below - there are also kid's games available on the field behind the firehouse, and the huge church rummage sale going on all day!
