What a Hoot! Kindness became more mighty at the Earth Day Hootenanny!


You made the Kindness Mightier!
Thanks from our hearts for being a part of the 2nd annual Mighty Kindness Earth Day Hootenanny!

What an amazing day of kindness, joy, music, empowerment, connections, KIDness, dancing, healing and unity!!!!! Thank you to all you mighty kind ones who helped create a Utopia in Willow Park.
There were so many smiles and we received a great deal of positive feedback. The Music & Dance Festival was a huge hit and went off without a hitch thanks to Brian with Ultimate Audio on sound. The Mighty KIDness was alive with activity with a kid's music jam, storytelling, face painting, hula hooping and receiving free organic tomato plants complete with lessons on growing from the farmers at Foxhollow. Over 50 green businesses, healers, artisians & local farms were present and important introductions were made with new supporters and friends. We greatly appreciate how well everyone worked together with grace and joyful cooperation. You all create tremendous hope for a united, kind and sustainable community. We truly honor the vital energy you bring to our commonwealth and encourage everyone to follow through on the contacts made, commit to supporting green, local goods & services, go out and listen to the extraordinary local music in the Ville and keeping reaching out to make this kindness more mighty!
What a Hoot!!
