Important update! The Blue Corn Harvest is being held on Sunday, October 31st, not on Saturday October 30th. Apologies for any confusion a previous post might have caused.
We'll be harvesting blue corn with and for our elders this Saturday, October 30th and we need your help! Volunteers will be helping our elders get around, making sure they are comfortable, being a floater or runner, and helping with setup and cleanup.
