We are scheduling work parties to prepare the Cayuta Sun Festival site.
It would be great to have your help:
1. Clearing trails
2. Clearing campsites
3. Brush hogging the parking area
4. Making signs
5. Collecting firewood for the bread oven and campfire
6. Helping with simple carpentry on compost latrines and solar showers.
Donations of 2x4s and 1x4s for the latrines and showers are welcome.

The first work party to build the compost latrines is this weekend.  If
you can help, call Michael at 607-227-0316. Cayuta Sun is at 2962 Swamp
Rd., Cayutaville, NY 14805.  We offer free admission to Green Fest to
those who help in advance or during the event.
