The South Dakota Sustainability Fair Coordinator, Anisah S. David, sent us a review of the greatHomesteading Education Month event she helped put together.

The South Dakota Sustainability Fair (the first in the state’s history, as far as we can tell!) just took place. Everyone who attended said they really liked that we took the initiative to start one. They felt it was due and timely.

No head count was possible, but we got some photos of various workshops and also our Town Hall meeting on Sustainability In South Dakota. The group talked about the general importance of sustainability and specifically what we need to do to move our Fair forward and hold it each year! 

We worked hard to accommodate a variety of peoples. We had a toddler play tent for young attendees (and their tired mom’s had rockers to sit in, while little ones played). We had the Breast Feeding Coalition hosting a consultation room in one of the nearby houses. Also, an essential oils consultation and workshop booth in the town hall. We had a booth representing the “rehoming of livestock and pets” and showing how even disabled animals, such as ponies, could be trained and rehomed. Their example was a completely blind miniature pony mare that was taught to pull a cart after losing her sight.
