Where's 'No Foam'?: Chicago Green Music Fest 2010 and Farmers Markets

Wondering where No Foam Chicago will be or when we'll be in your neck of the woods? Look no farther than the section of our blog called, "Where's 'No Foam'?" to stay posted on NFC happenings, actions, educational opportunities, events and MORE.

This Saturday, we will be romping through the Chicago Green Music Fest with clipboards to let people know how they can support our cause and learn more about styrofoam and NFC. The event looks like it will be a unique, awesome time! Who doesn't want to enjoy a Chicago summer by listening to eco-friendly bands, stroll through a "vendor village", and sample the "craft beer booth"? We're sold and we hope you are too! The event runs from June 26 and 27 from noon-10:00pm on both days. It's located on Chicago Avenue between Ashland and Noble and there is a $5 suggested donation. Can't beat that for a full day of live music! More information and the music line up is found on their website.

Also, this Friday (June 25), July 16th, and August 6th, we will be attending Uncommon Ground's Farmer Fridays! We start this Friday so come get your fresh, organic produce and stop by to sign a postcard that will be sent to Mayor Daley to show citizen support behind the proposed ban! From the looks of it, this appears to be no ordinary farmer's market. Oh no, instead, there are organizations, shops, and even breweries present. The folks at Uncommon Ground are always looking for ways to push the green and activist envelope and this market seems like a great way to entice people to do the same. The Market will be right in the parking lot of the Devon location and more info is found on the website.
