It's unknown what will be on sale or what kinds of deals there will be, but they claim you will remember it for a lifetime. Good enough for me! http://www.surplus.indiana.edu/copy/Surplus.asp Thanks, -Nathan From ha_roush at hotmail.com Wed Mar 12 22:33:23 2014 From: ha_roush at hotmail.com (Heath Roush) Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 22:33:23 -0400 Subject: [Bloominglabs-announce] 2nd annual Bloominglabs Blue Barrel Bonanza In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Daniel and I will be leading another rain barrel / compost barrel workshop 3/29 - 3/30 10:00 - 2:00 at Bloominglabs.

However, I am open to doing a plant tower workshop instead on March 29th - 30th if a couple people are interested. They aren't difficult to do, just time consuming and each require a heat gun. I would ask $30 for members or $60 for non-members. These barrels hold a lot of plants and usually cost $150. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It also includes a center composting tube to help your plants grow even faster. Space is limited by the number of heat guns we have, so if you have one we can borrow, that would be awesome. Also, you don't have to pay through the eventbrite page if you don't want to pay the site's fee. Bloominglabs can also accept cash, card, and paypal, but I need to know this in advance. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It would be awesome if Bloominglabs could have a booth there. I was thinking it would be a great place to show off Heath's barrels, but other members would be welcome to join in. You can sell things at this fair - in fact, the kids are encouraged to come up with projects to make and sell. So if you have a product you have developed that you'd like to sell, this would be a great place to do that. I think Heath is up for this. Is anyone else interested in joining in? Jenett ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Taylor Wittmer Date: Wed, Mar 26, 2014 at 11:28 AM Subject: Re: Pinnacle SpringFAIR To: Jenett Tillotson Hello Jenett, I hope you are are well. My name is Taylor Wittmer, and I am now on board at Pinnacle School as the Director of Community Relations. We are gearing up for our SpringFAIR event in April, and I wanted to go ahead and pass along our brochure that has the information in it. I will also attach the participation form that is needed for anyone who wants to sign up for a booth. My goal is to get this information out to as many people as possible, and spread the word about this great opportunity at Pinnacle School. I am looking forward to meeting you in person and collaborating on future projects as well! Thank you for your support of Pinnacle School, and let me know if you have any questions regarding the SpringFair. Have a great day. Thank you, Taylor Wittmer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
