Easy Being Green

One of the reasons I chose a scooter was to be more green. So it was fitting that I rode my scooter to The Great Green America Festival. It took place this weekend at Mt. Hope, the site of the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. There were booths of people promoting green products and food, and organizations concerned with the conservation of the environment and animals. There was musical entertainment on multiple stages, and a DockDogs competition.

In addition to the booths, competitions, discussions, and entertainment, there was the usual amenities of the Mt. Hope grounds. Most of the food stands and gift shops were open. The Winery was open, and so was the Swashbuckler Brewing Company.You could carry your beverage around the grounds to enjoy the festival. I especially recommend the Capt'n Rude Stout.

My scooter enjoyed priority parking with the motorcycles, right across the courtyard from the entrance. VIP parking, adult beverages, great music, all for a good cause... what's not to love? If they do it again next year, I'd love to see more scooterists there.

The highlight for me was one of the musical acts; the Peasall Sisters. They were the singing voices for The Wharvey Gals, the young singing group for whom George Clooney was the paterfamilia in O' Brother Where Art Thou? The girls are now 14, 16, and 20 , and could give the Dixie Chicks a run for their money in a battle of the bands.
