I am busy getting press releases out - and fliers made - and art projects beta tested! We've got volunteers to help - and set up is in full swing!
I am posting our latest press release here, in case anyone wants to pass it on further. Remember to get your vendor forms in to the firehouse asap. I think there are still quite a few of you on my list who haven't gotten around to that yet - the sooner the better if you have specific needs, i.e. electricity access or inside setup.
Pass it on as far and wide as possible!

Press Release
MedusaFest celebrates spring!
Small businesses, bands, talks, art, rummage sales and the great Firehouse chicken barbecue!
Medusa, April 5, 2014. Can
there be a better way to celebrate the return of spring than spend a
day in Medusa?! This year, on May 3rd, from 9am - 4pm, MedusaFest will
be hosting a small business fair, talks by local sustainability celebs,
several amazing bands, and fantastic food! We’re also hosting a kid’s
art lab and the Medusa Church’s giant rummage sale (one of the area’s
best!). If you have been missing Medusa (or just can’t wait to brush off
the last remnants of this very long winter), mark your calendars for
May 3rd!
A
little bit Maker movement, and a little bit TedX, in addition to
showcasing some fantastic local vendors, this year’s MedusaFest is
hoping to start a new tradition: we’ll be hosting talks by Justin
Wexler, founder of Wild Hudson Valley, frequently seen leading hikes at
the Huyck Preserve; Robert Neid, of the Center for Sustainable Rural
Communities, to talk about his ongoing working nearby Schoharie County;
and William Logan, Rensselaerville local and author of Dirt: the
Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, and inspiration behind the recent
documentary by the same name.
Adding
a bit of musical flavor, several notorious local bands will be offering
up their most entertaining! The Peckham Hollow will be playing their
finest, as well as Medusa Moonshine, led by our own Dave Rudloff.
Robert, our Medusa Troubador, as locals recognize as a summer porch
feature at the Store, will be joining the Ron Torven Band for a lineup
of ballads. Musical genius in your own hometown! A little of
everything...
We’re
also hosting a giant kid’s art lab - so bring play clothes for a hefty
amount of hands on artistic (and messy!) artistic fun! From giant
building blocks to frame painting to playdough (a perennial Medusa
favorite!) and bigger-than-life weaving, we’ll be creating great art
together!
The
firehouse will be providing superb food throughout the day, including a
chicken barbecue. As always, entrance is free, though donations are
appreciated.
If
you have any questions regarding this event, or are interested in
volunteering, give April a call at the store at 518 239 6980 or drop her
an email at april.roggio@gmail.com. We are active webbies, available on
Facebook, as well as at medusasmallbusinessfair.blogspot.com. Looking
forward to seeing you on the 3rd!
