Go Local Lawrence Busque Local Update

We are so pleased with the response from everyone we talk to about the Festival. What does that mean for Lawrence? Well, even more local choices.

Here is a quick recap of who will either be at the Go Local or will be offering something on their menu with local ingredients:
*Rio Bar & Grill on Appleton Street will be serving pasta samples with lots of fresh, local options
*Cafe Azteca already started with a house special of "Squash Blossom" sauce, look for more local items on their menu and live at the Go Local
*Cafe Verde will highlight their special menu at the Go Local, a special preview before they open their doors on Essex Street
*Terra Luna, also on Appleton, is working with their chef to add locals to the menu as well
That's not all, more chefs are signing on daily. This is going to be big Lawrence!

Other activities planned for the Go Local Lawrence include an edible craft table with the Merrimack Valley YMCA where families can make fun snacks and UMass Extension Nutrition Education will be playing the "Spin a Snack" game to try some new fruits and vegetables.

Live performances between 11am and 1pm hosted by Lawrence's own DraMatik and DJ Erkel will include local artists B-Luv, Bylli Crayone, El-Moises, C-Sharp, Boys R Us and Show Divine.

There will be something for everyone. You will not want to miss it!

Go Local Lawrence Busque Local 2010!

The Buzz is Starting... and it's not just the bees!

Less than a month to go now before the 1st "Go Local Lawrence Busque Local" Festival and lots happening. We are working hard to spread the word and would appreciate your help. Please start reminding people to Save the Date and come out to have some fun on Saturday, August 7th.

We got some great publicity this past Saturday when the radio station Power 800 made a very clear announcement while they were broadcasting the opening of the Farmers Market. Matias read out all the details we have so far about this new event celebrating all things LOCAL. Muchas gracias, Matias!

Look for our new logo as Lawrence area restaurants join in to serve a local version of something to eat. They will be displaying the "Go Local Here/ Busque Local Aqui" sign in their windows and you will know that you can find some great local food.

If your favorite restaurant or corner store doesn't have the Go Local sign, ask them if they want to participate and we would welcome another Local. Let us know who they are and we will get in touch.

Remember to Go Local/ Busque Local Lawrence!
