<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Dear Grenlings,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This email comes from Tony and Fran McQauil. Tony is a former student of mine, organic farmer, and longtime activist . Their farm is wonderful and they have an annual open house with a number of events.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tony has also included an email about the upcoming electronic protest being coordinated by a number of leading environmental organizations concerned about the wretched assault on environmental legislation ("the war on nature and democracy") being launched
by the Harper government.</div>
<div><br>

<br>
This weekend - </font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Times
New Roman, Times, serif">Saturday, May 12 from 10-4 and Sunday, May 13 from 1-4</font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Times
New Roman, Times, serif"> is our annual Open House
when we do horse drawn wagon rides around the farm and you can see young calves and chickens and pigs on pasture. It is the time when Fran sells heirloom tomatoes
</font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">and the usual peppers, eggplants, leeks, other vegetables and culinary herbs in</font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> the green house. As well you can
walk in the woods to see the wild flowers though with the early spring it is hard to know whether the trillium will still be a carpet of white as they were last weekend.<br>
<br>
</font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman, Times,
serif">This year there is a potential BONUS - I (Tony) am in a local theatre production of "Bedtime Stories" by Norm Foster. It is a gut bustingly funny play and the audience response
has been so strong that we have extended the run another week to Friday, May 11 and Saturday, May 12 both at 7:30 pm. So if you are coming from a distance and planning to spend a night in the area - here is some possible entertainment - and if you are local
and want to take in the show after the open house Saturday that could work too. Tickets are a bargain at $10 and if you want some let me know which day so I can have them set aside for you.<br>
<br>
</font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman, Times,
serif">I will be sending out a separate e-mail today to spring beef customers to get details of when you will be picking up or whether you need delivery. Please Respond when you get
it so I can plan appropriately.<br>
<br>
Be well,<br>
Tony<br>

PS - I've attached a poster for the open house<br>
PPS - And I've attached a recent message that came from the Sierra Club about a day of action on June 4 called "BlackoutSpeakout"

"The federal government’s <b>war on nature and democracy</b> means “Silence is no longer an option” for Canadians."
<br>
<br>
As Organic Farmers our goal is to work with nature to produce the best food possible. To do this we need a healthy ecosystem and a healthy community. I hope you will have a look at what the Sierra Club and many other environmental organizations are doing.
