We Came, We Partied, We Recycled

The 2016 Mt. Airy Village Fair on Sept. 11 was a Zero-Waste affair. Reusable plates and cutlery were in abundance, along with live music, crafts, kids' activities, food, the pet parade and the usual — and unusual — Village Fair boothies. 

We Got Help with Bagging

Remember how the Co-op offered our members new Shop the Co-op bags in exchange for old ones they might have picked up at, ahem, other stores? Intrepid cooperators Josephine Leigh and Brooke Giles cut and tweaked and stitched the old bags into a beautiful, colorful 4-by-20-foot banner and a 10-by-12 stage backdrop for us to use at events. The repurposed bags made their debut at the Village Fair.
