Sounds like a good idea BUT I don't think there are enough of us out there for whoever decides on these days to think it is a good idea! We are definitely in the minority, not part of the mainstream, and we sure wouldn't make any money for Hallmark! If you still think it would work though, I would support it.

Personally I like the idea but the logistical problems mentioned by others is a problem. Maybe we could piggyback on already established events like the energy fairs that are popping up all over the country. It would more likely be more of a local event for the homesteaders but the energy fair folks might go for it cause they're already into organic/ sustainable living things.
