All greened up and ready to celebrate?

Take off your work gloves and turn in those green bags…come spend an awesome Saturday afternoon at the Co-op!  Meet representatives from at least twenty different organizations concerned with environmental and energy efficiency issues.  Grab a bite of a fresh grilled Co-op Quesadilla and local Cider from Champlain Orchards.  Try your hand at cranking homemade ice cream (yes, you get to eat a bowl, too!).  Bring the kids for fun “earth friendly” activities.  Listen to live music from local band, THE DOUGHBOYS!  Lots of freebies and samples to try!

Special Activity for Grown-ups and Kids!

We’re hoping to expand into a bigger space some day, and that means new bathrooms (yes, that is PLURAL – yeah!)!   We’d like our new bathrooms to feel as “co-opie” as the rest of the store.  Help us decorate bathroom tiles with tile markers.  Show what “co-op” means to you in your illustration, and it may be selected to grace the walls of the new lavatories!
