Good green fun at Pesto Festo

As if the glorious weather wasn’t enough to celebrate this weekend, last night’s Pesto Festo event in Ferguson made North County the place to be. Hosted by EarthDance Farms, the annual fundraiser drew more than 300 progressive, green-minded guests from all over St. Louis, and featured delicious local food, gorgeous artwork, and swingin’ performances by the Rum Drum Ramblers and Miss Jubilee & the Humdingers.

EarthDance Farms also gave out four Mission Awards at the zero-waste event, honoring folk musician Colleen Heine, community activist Dwayne James, organic farmer John Wilkerson, and artist Autumn Wiggins for their work in creating vibrant, sustainable communities.
