Fresh at SCC, Oct. 22

Sustainable Sandhills
presents "FRESH", a FREE sustainable film
Thursday, October 22nd, 6:30-8:00pm
Sandhills Community College,
Dempsey Student Center, Clement Dining Room

Fresh at the Sunrise, Thurs, Fri.

A quick reminder, the solution-oriented food movie "Fresh" is playing today (Thursday) and Friday evenings at the Sunrise theater. 7:30PM.

The Sunrise was kind enough to take a risk back in August, even if documentaries "hadn't done well" before. Make a point to return the support. It's our community theater, and brings us films we wouldn't see otherwise.

Reminder, Food, Inc. and Fresh, Oct. 20-23, Sunrise Theater

The movie "Food, Inc" is returning to the Sunrise Theater in October.
Pairing up with it is a brand new solution- and action-oriented food movie called "Fresh".

After two sell-out nights in August for the documentary "Food, Inc," the Sunrise Theater is bringing it back.

Yes, the important and much-talked-about "FOOD, INC" will make its return engagement Tues-Wed, Oct 20-21. If you didn't get to see, now is your chance, and bring a friend. If you have seen it, tell a friend.

Hard on the heels of "Food, Inc", comes another food film. The Sunrise has also booked the new movie "Fresh" for Thur-Fri, Oct 22-23 .

It's been said that if "Food, Inc" was your wake-up call, "Fresh" is a look at some of our options.

"Fresh" (see: www.freshthemovie.com).
is confirmed for Thur-Fri, Oct 22-23 on the heels of "Food Inc."

Get the dates down on your calendar. And bring a friend!

Food, Inc. AND Fresh, Flicks at Sunrise!

[from Jan's Cottage Garden Newsletter]

After two sell-out nights in August for the documentary "Food, Inc," the Sunrise Theater is bringing it back next month.

Yes, the important and much-talked-about "FOOD, INC" will make its return engagement Tues-Wed, Oct 20-21. If you didn't get to see, now is your chance, and bring a friend. If you have seen it, tell a friend.

Hard on the heels of "Food, Inc", comes another food film. The Sunrise has also booked the new movie "Fresh" for Thur-Fri, Oct 22-23 .

It's been said that if "Food, Inc" was your wake-up call, "Fresh" is a look at some of our options.

Featured in the film is more of the ever-engaging Joel Salatin, plus McAurthur Genius Grant award-winner Will Allen of Milwaukee's innovative "Growing Power".
I had a chance to meet Will this June, and tour the simple community-engaged systems of "Growing Power" with my mad-scientist brother. The "urban farm" produces local food year-round in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Lake perch from aquaculture, and fresh greens, are the year-round stars. Worm compost is the fertilizer.

Anyway "Fresh" (see: www.freshthemovie.com).
is confirmed for Thur-Fri, Oct 22-23 on the heels of "Food Inc."
