The University of Hawaii delegation pose on the lanai, which many regular Festival goers may recognize as last year’s Peace Corps program discussion stage, the Peace Porch. We do attempt to recycle as much as possible at the Festival, and that means not just bottles and cans, but structures as well!

The 1890 Consortium finally gets its full compliment of vinyl banners and posters to help explain their Reinventing Agriculture display. The first set of posters was damaged in the Big Storm of June 29. Our Festival design team, who are on stand-by during the event to make signs that we had not anticipated needing, rose to the occasion to get new copies printed pronto.

The Sisters of the Cloth from Indiana show off their quilts during a week one "bed turning." At the Commons discussion stage, we briefly experimented with displaying a couple of AIDS quilt panels (seen in background), but took them down when rain threatened and heat made keeping the Commons open a better idea.

Participants from New Mexico University demonstrate the effective use of the sandwich board signs that the Festival tech crew built for the program. Hopefully there will be room for these in the warehouse for future Festivals. And hopefully the participants from New Mexico will be back for a future Festival program on traditional medicine and healing, currently in the early research phases.

While curators are extremely busy during the Festival, they do often carry their cameras with them and remember to take photos now and then. Here are a half dozen photos that I shot of the Campus and Community program, ranging from pre-Festival set-up to Friday, July 6. It has been an amazing journey for us all—staff, interns, volunteers, participants and visitors alike. Thanks to everyone who made it so great!
