Fair Trade Poker Run Bike Style
RSVP on Facebook

The Fair Trade Project is holding a poker run–bike style! Registration is only $5 and will start at 2:30pm at Austin’s. The 10+ mile ride will start at 4 and take you to local stores that sell fair trade: Chamberlin’s Natural Foods, Enzian Theater, Ten Thousand Villages, Whole Foods and Austin’s. You’ll pick up a playing card at each stop to complete your poker hand.

We’ll have great prizes from each stop for the person with the best hand, plus additional prizes, including great stuff from local bike shops. After we give out the prizes at 6:30, we’ll have a free show featuring local music.

Even if you don’t participate in the ride, we hope you’ll join us for the show. See you there!

The Fair Trade Project seeks to help disadvantaged producers receive a just price for their goods while building relationships and encouraging social and environmental responsibility. When people are paid a fair price for what they produce, they can pull themselves, their families, and their communities out of poverty.

You can make a difference simply by buying fair trade products.

Who thought this was a good idea? ORLANDO TO THE EXTREME!

All the right video clips, all the WRONG edits, effects, and titles. I seriously want to barf right now.

Give ANYONE with 3 ounces of talent access to your video library - there are some really great things in there, I’m sure, and you must have spent so much money capturing and acquiring all of that footage (or someone did), why would you then let a 3-year-old with a mouse and keyboard near it?

I apologize to the person who did the editing - you may have just been following orders, but they were BAD orders.
