[ShareTompkins] Upcoming Share Tompkins events!

Tue Apr 27 03:52:26 UTC 2010

Thanks for the email; the minutes were amusing and altogether helpful!

 We are looking forward to hosting the next swap at our home, The T'Burg
Yellow House, on the 15th!  Maybe some of this could make its way onto the
poster/flyer?:  We're on Mount Road, which is just 2.5 miles outside of
"downtown" Trumansburg.  Tarps, picnic blankets, tables and all sorts of
spots will be laid out on the lawn.  Parking is along the driveway & near
the barns.   Be sure to save time for visiting some choice Main
St. businesses when you're out this way: The Rongovian Embassy to the United
States (under new ownership and is rejuvenated once again), One Green Horse
used book store, Sundrees, The Pourhouse, Windflower Herb and Beauty (an
herbal/ all natural/ organic day spa) our cute little Gimme! shop, and the
Hazelnut Kitchen, of course.

Much Love and Thanks,

Evie
