- Making Quilt Squares at the Common Ground Fair
Defending Water for Life in Maine tabled for three days at the Common Ground Fair in Unity, ME. Organizers Denise and Chris spoke with hundreds of people about protecting water in Maine. We provided a couple interactive activities for fairgoers, including a poster sized “Anti-Bottled Water” pledge for folks to sign, as well as this art project to create quilt squares for our water quilt (pictured). Squares from the quilt have been contributed by people as far away as Bolivia. The purpose of the quilt is to raise awareness and increase connectivity about water by having people express how they feel about water through drawing, and then putting everybody’s piece together! Thanks to everyone who came by to visit us and contributed! It was great to see all of you and we look forward to next year!
