SOWING    SEEDS    EARTHWEEK    FESTIVAL

"Sowing Seeds Earthweek Festival" is a Non-Profit Public festival licensed by the City of Boulder, Colorado. It appeared in Boulder's Central Park on April 18 & 19, 1998 as "Sowing Seeds Festival Weekend" and is scheduled for exhibition again, in 1999. "Sowing Seeds" is designed to link several activist communities together and cojoin the two holidays of "Earthday", April 22 and the countrywide "420"-spiritual and political Cannabis rally & worship, April 20.

The Bandshell, North lawn, Center lawn, and South lawn, of the park; were rented out and adorned, with various tents, stages, and eclectic performances, and diverse vendors. The estimated cost of the entire event, was approximately $3000.00; and the money collected for the event, was approximately $800.00 less than the cost. The members on the Board of Directors; supplemented the balance out of their own pockets.
