Seattle Hempfest - 2001
150,000 attended 10th year anniversary two day event
This year's 2-day Hempfest in Seattle on August
18-19 was attended by at least 150,000 people. Deitra Lied from
El Paso joined Diane Fornbacher from Philadelphia, and we 'tabled
and talked.' Tyree Callahan came from Bellingham on Sunday; Consuello
and Espie from Colville were there; Kevin Black and Gloria serve
with the core Hempfest volunteers. All of us shared our own reform
experiences with so many citizens of the Northwest - some from
various stages, and from our table and display - America's Dirty
War.
Congratulations to Vivian McPeak and Dominic Holden who led a
group of 1,000 volunteers (that is right-it is not a typo- one
thousand volunteers) who put on an amazing two day event. It
was a fitting 10th anniversary celebration for 150,000 or so
of their closest friends!

On September 15th, Chuck and Nora attended the
6th Annual Hempfest in Missoula, Montana. Teaching fellow citizens
from our table and display, and speaking from the main stage,
we connected with people of all ages and backgrounds. Thanks
to Rochelle Glasgow and all the Missoula volunteers for a great
public event!
