If you are looking for a full day of amazing music and energy then support Friends of Minesing Wetlands and come on out to

MINESING UNPLUGGED WETLAND FESTIVAL

WHEN?: Saturday June 10th, 2006

WHERE?: Grenfel Pavilion (10 min west of Barrie, ON)

For those of you who do not live in Barrie, trust me when I say that this day will be worth the drive! It is a green event though so we are avid supporters of car pooling.

ALSO - you have the opportunity to show up in style a la PARTY MOBILE – Just $20 on top of the festival ticket to take a bus from Toronto to Barrie and back.

There are limited spaces available to act quick for this opportunity.
Bus will be leaving from the Tranzac Club (Brunswick and Bloor) at 10:30 am and returning after the festival (approx 1am).

Also, Georgian college has agreed to put together a package deal for us for the night before and of the event in their summer suites residences. I don't have final pricing on this but we are looking at somewhere in the range of $62, $72, $82 for 2, 4, 6 people suites respectively (and this is before we put the package deal together so prices will be lower).

WHO?: incredible Lineup

The Silver Hearts
DALA
The Undesirables

WHY?: Help Support the Friends of Minesing Wetlands with our
effort to increase public awareness and support for the Minesing Wetlands.

The Minesing Wetlands is a 15,000 acre provincially significant wetland complex that has been recognized under the Ramsar Convention as being internationally significant, placing it in a class alongside the Florida Everglades and the Baltic Marshes of the USSR.
The Friends are a non profit organization dedicated to protecting the ecological integrity of Minesing Swamp and its supporting watershed. The Friends are currently in the middle of a significant fundraising initiative to raise money for the completion of an intensive flora and fauna inventory of the Minesing Wetlands.

This inventory will serve as a crucial ingredient in the campaign to have Minesing Wetlands designated as a World Biosphere Reserve.

WHAT ELSE?: Besides Toe-Tapping Live Music all day enjoy the following:

: Artisan Craft Market
: Environmental Informative Displays
: Alternative Energy Displays
: Family Activities: face painting, children play area, bouncy frogs, workshops
: Free Music and Yoga Workshops
