The Not-So-Simple Living Fair, a weekend of hands-on workshops and demonstrations celebrating rural living and homesteading skills, will be held July 22nd, 23rd, and 24th at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds in Boonville.

The weekend starts on Friday night at dusk with a Camp-out Cabaret in the campground at the Fairgrounds (bring a song, poem or story to share). Workshops and ongoing demonstrations will be offered all day Saturday and Sunday. Saturday evening there will be a Local Food Potluck Dinner (please bring food to share and your own plate, cup and utensils to eat with). Music and dancing with Pura Vida will round out and energize the evening.

Displays and demonstrations, the Conversation Café, Tool Show and Tell, and Marketplace will be on-going throughout the weekend. Participants will have the opportunity to share skills and ideas.

Admission is $20.00/day or $30.00/weekend, plus $10/car/night for camping. RV hookups are available: call the camp host at (831) 238-5345. Youth 16 and under are free. No dogs are allowed on the Fairgrounds.

Question: What do you do when people want to come over and show you have to make pizza in a wood burning oven?
Answer: You open a slot for them on Saturday morning and revise the final schedule!

We have additional updates to our workshops, demonstrations, and Conversation Café. We have also posted a revised schedule of Saturday and Sunday events in PDF format. Print this out and bring it to the Fair. Please note that this schedule will not reflect last minute changes that may happen.

There’s a lot happening! Looking forward to seeing all of you at the Fair.
