NWMM day 3...(yesterday, Sep 3)

The day started off as a "rest" day for me. After a little bit of a leisurely morning, we all set off for the ROC for some activities. I played Sousa for the Mark Time Marchers in the ROC labor day parade as we were the band for the union my brother in law is president of.

Meanwhile, Lisa and Adam went to the National Museum of Play, and I met them there after the parade for
Lunch. On the way home we did stop at Wegmans, and here is my rationale.

Wegmans is locally owned and based. They try to carry local brands, and they carry a wide selection of organic items. We know some folks who work at Wegmans, and they really enjoy working for the company. I know Walmart employees, and they don't. I don't mean that to be generalizing, because there will always be unhappy workers in any company.

That being said, we also are making an effort to foster and promote local buying, trading, and services. I started a Facebook group (Albion Area Locavores). Already folks around here are sharing their resources and knowledge. It's great!

Keep checking back for info on how it's going...
