Note to Foodies!!
I am currently writing about Folklorama and posting recipes from a Folklorama 1980 brochure in my other blog - ‘I’m Turning 60’.

If you’d like to enjoy Folklorama flavours at home, please check out the recipe posts which began on June 19 and will continue until August 6. Some of the pavilions are still in business, while others are just a memory of the 1980s. All recipes are authentic! ~ Margaret

Join us for a free yoga class with Jesse Rodgers, a 200 hour certified yoga teacher. She completed her training with Yandara Yoga Institute in April 2016 and has been teaching on a regular basis ever since returning home from training in Hawaii.
Her training was in Hatha style yoga. Her main goal is to make all students feel comfortable, and let them know that if anything doesn't feel good, to modify or skip it. She makes her classes accessible to all levels of yogis, but has had the most experience teaching beginners. She is a mindful and intuitive teacher who brings aspects of meditation, breathwork, and positive mindset to the physical practice.

We may even hold the concert itself outside in the back yard, depending on crowd-size and the weather. So we could ask you to bring a lawn chair. We’ll give you a heads-up in time.
Onstage, Steve Poltz is part busker, part Iggy Pop and part Robin Williams, a freewheeling folkie with a quick wit and big heart. See him live and wonder why he doesn't fill arenas. - Associated Press
We’ve never had a performer that co-wrote a song that sold over 15 million copies, or once sat on Elvis’ shoulders. His songs have been among the longest running on the Billboard Top 100 and they regularly appear in movies, television, and television commercials.
He co-wrote “You Were Meant For Me” with Jewel. Fans have adored him since he fronted the punk-folk legends, The Rugburns. His live shows captivate audiences with a mix of singing, storytelling, shredding, and occasional rants which have incited riots.
