15th Annual Local Farmer Open House
Each spring, Riverside Park's Urban Ecology Center is THE place to be to meet local farmers who grow food sustainably and learn how to buy directly from them. The annual Local Food and Farmer Open House event has grown since we first organized it ten years ago to help our community connect with local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), farmers. Now over 1,000 people attend each year, the number of CSA farmers attending is over 20. During the rest of the year, our community can visit the Center and our web site to learn more about CSAs and where to find local farms.

The Few
by Samuel D. Hunter Running Time: 90 minutes Studio Theatre Directed by C. Michael Wright Featuring Mitch Bultman, Mary MacDonald Kerr and James Ridge It's 1999; uncertainty and instability are in the air. Four years earlier, Bryan had abandoned his labor of love, a newspaper for truckers. Now he's returned to small-town Idaho - with no word of where he's been - and things have changed. His former lover is filled with rage, his new coworker is filled with incessant adoration, and his paper is filled with personal ads. From Samuel D. Hunter, award winning-author and recent recipient of the MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant, comes this compassionate, gently-hued drama about lonely lives desperately searching for a renewed faith in humanity.
