Thanks to everyone who came out to the opening of Good Eater on Saturday morning.  We had perfect weather (which in this case, meant cool and cloudy, since the sun can be murderous in the gardens), and lots of great food donated by the women in the project.  Similar to our last show Welcome to [...]
