It's the Midwest Renewal Energy Fair, which drew 20,000 people last year to Custer, in central Wisconsin. The Wis. Network for Peace and Justice will be serving Pancakes for Peace on June 20, Iraq Moratorium #10. We're hoping to mark the Moratorium by distributing black IM ribbons to people attending the breakfast, so they can wear them on the grounds throughout the day. We need some volunteers to help that morning.
The menu includes pancakes, eggs, fruit, fair-trade coffee, juice – and vegan options. Enjoy music while you eat with Tom Pease and Little Baba Ghanooj! Peace t-shirts, yard signs, Iraq Moratorium buttons…and more!
7:30 am to 9 am - for WNPJ volunteers and Fair Exhibitors,9 am to 10:30 am for MREA Fair Attendees (gates open at 9 am). Tickets sold at the breakfast: $8/adult, $5 for kids.
Plus, the “WALK for PEACE” – at 2:30 pm – bring your signs and meet at the Main Entry Gate!
