On Saturday May 19th we gathered at the Thirsty Monk warehouse and put on the best Kid Fair to date, of course it was only the 2nd one.  After weeks of nothing but rainy days, the clouds parted and the sun shown bright.  We had close to 200 new faces who came together as a community, learned of new local companies, shared food and drink, played, danced, learned to build, knit, hammer, climb and craft.

“Pirate Day” was a day for nothing but imaginative play. During the week we learn in class all about the history of the Age of Piracy - the causes and effects, the role of Caribbean geography in piracy, the scientific advances in navigation and ship-building, and the exciting stories of trickery and thievery.
