Fourth Annual Strawberries and Asparagus Festival, call for volunteers

Open Call for Vendors, Volunteers, Partners and Sponsors for this year’s Strawberries and Asparagus Festival happening on Saturday June 12 in Cedarvale Park.

What began as a neighbourhood barbecue as a celebration of the anniversary of the Spadina Expressway is now in its fourth year and growing. Strawberries and Asparagus is now a spring harvest celebration that incorporates renewable energy, live music and green living. This family event will include free food, festival fun, live music, solar stage, solar cooking, green gardening and the “Inorganic Market” with activities for children all day and a Yoga and Zen Zone.

Find the event invitation and the event group on Facebook. You’ll find more information about volunteering on the group page.

Mentioning the Spadina Expressway made me think of The Shuffle Demons song Spadina Bus, and The Shuffle Demons are feel-good music, so here it is  for your viewing and listening pleasure. Chair dancing is encouraged. Let this be a good start to your Monday.

The original video

Video from last summer’s performance at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto, which I was at, but this isn’t my video. Mine isn’t consistent from start to finish- though I did get some great video of the walkabout for which they are known. It was an awesome time. It was also an attempt to break the world record of number of sax players.

Eat well, be well.
