We had some challenges getting the school on board and actually had to pay to use the space outside. As a result of these challenges, we were rushing to get the word out. Nonetheless, the event was posted on the Slow Food USA website under the Time for Lunch campaign.

My grandmother would get a real chuckle out of it as well. What I read described here is how people used to eat before there were restaurants and fast-food places on every corner and all the moms went into the workplace. <br /><br />It's all good, but kind of funny that people see this as some sort of new idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-72474180479879057432009-09-07T14:01:57.498-07:002009-09-07T14:01:57.498-07:00Anon 11:32am,

One of my best kept secret resources for info is the www.cccfm.org website/newsletter. <br /><br />All you have to do is subscribe to their email newsletter or check their website often for udates.

Nice article. Now we know for next year! :)<br /><br />I found the listing on one of my foodie sites I read often.

You're right it's late notice. <br /><br />I don't know if the Times or other publications gave it much notice, but it does seem like a big deal, and that Walnut Creek was hosting it...Pretty cool. <br /><br />When I get more techno savvy, I'll see about creating some kind of upcoming events listing.

With the local produce here, it seems like it could be a good fit.<br /><br />It would've been interesting to know about this some time ago, to make plans to attend. Maybe I have to start reading the Contra Costa Times? Did they give it any PR?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
