Seattle Green Festival – Free Tickets!

The link to their site is: http://www.treehuggingfamily.com/get-free-tickets-for-the-first-eco-wedding-lifestyle-show-in-canada/.

I think they do their topic plenty of justice, so I’ll just quote their post:

Canada is having their first Eco Wedding & Lifestyle Show (EWLS) Very cool. The show opens March 1st and 2nd at the Design Exchange.

At the show, eco-conscious couples, and families searching for green options for their special day will be able to learn about companies that will help them create a beautiful wedding, and keep the environmental footprint small. The show is sponsored by Absolute Tent & Event Rentals and Weddingbells, and will be featuring a large and diverse collection of amazing wedding and lifestyles vendors, all of them committed to green living.

If you still don’t see how this is related to my little slice of junk heaven, keep reading as I continue to quote:

With the motto “It’s not just your wedding; it’s the rest of your life!” the show will feature mini seminars ranging in topics that include real estate, green renovations, food and wine pairings, DIY invitations and more. “We aim to help couples make informed and sustainable decisions in all of these areas”, states Graham. “This is a chance for couples to meet both non-traditional vendors who offer these alternatives, and established, traditional vendors who are excited about the changes they are making to create a sustainable model.”

What’s going to be super slick and fun about this show are the unique and interactive eco friendly fashion shows, sponsored by David Scott Cosmetics. Some fashionable perks at the show include Project Runway winner Evan Biddell, Passenger Pigeon, Margaret Macleod and As You Like It, with footwear by Mink Shoes. Fashion shown will feature traditional and non-traditional ensembles, and all garments will be local, recycled, or sustainable.

If this sounds like something you’d like to attend, try to win the tickets–it sounds like they may not have hoards of people entering to win, so your odds are even better then you might think!
