Happy Thanksgiving, 2016! We hope that the day is everything you dreamed it will be. While you are spending time at home with family and loved ones and planning how to spend Black Friday around Greensboro, consider taking a few items over to the Really, Really Free, Buy Nothing event in Glenwood at the People's Market. The Grove Street People's Market is located at 1307 Glenwood Avenue. Kathy Clark organizes this annual event as a way to give to the community and as a way to cut down on massive waste during the holiday season. It reminds us that we are such a consumer society and that sometimes your neighbor is giving away the very item that you are about to charge to a credit card. You can come and donate items, take items, or do a little bit of both. It will start at 11:00 am and end at 3:00 p.m.
In the above photo, taken last year on one corner of the market, Kathy can be seen working tirelessly. She is the one holding up the blue item of clothing. If you stop by, in addition to thanking her for organizing this event, thank her for everything she does to contribute to the arts in Greensboro. Kathy is the golden, living statue we have all come to expect at festivals around town. Thank her for organizing this market, and don't hesitate to help out things out or take leftovers up at the end of the day. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Really, Really Free Market Black Friday.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
