When I was on the planning committee for the Midwifery Rally in May 2008 I met some amazing women and one of those women is planning a new event that I have to tell you about. It seems that I’m writing more about information lately but I promise to get back to posts about screaming children, homeschool fiascoes, poopy diapers, and my loving husband who puts up with me through it all. But for right now I wanted to tell you about a friend of mine, Dr. Joelle Johnson. Joelle is organizing the Indigo Festival in Red Deer and she’s promising one heck of a good time.

I’m putting up the link to the festival site which can give you more information but the gist of it is this. It’s a Natural Health Fair geared towards expecting women and young families with speakers, hands-on demonstrations, a silent auction and a load of kids games and activities.

The best parts to me are the free admission, the Wii Console and Wii Fit door prize and the Breastaurant. Never heard of a Breastaurant? Well, Joelle has put together a semi-private area with a comfy chair, a change table, etc. for breastfeeding moms to go and take care of their wee ones.

The money made from the silent auction is being donated to the La Leche Leauge Canada and the RCMP Kids Programs in the Red Deer area.

Here are the details of the Indigo Festival.
