2010 - The Green Party will have a table at the "Love Your Mother Earth Festival"

The Green Party will have an information table at the "Love Your Mother
Festival" June 11-13 at Rock Creek Lodge. If you want to find out more
about the Green Party, be sure to stop by the table. Cheryl Wolfe, candidate
for HD11, will be there part of the time.

The Love Your Mother Earth Festival, the fourth annual sustainable music
gathering, will be held June 11-13 at Rock Creek Lodge, located just off
I-90 at Exit 126 in Clinton.

The venue offers easy accessibility, plenty of space and on site camping,
with fishing and hiking areas nearby.

This year's festival hosts more than 50 acts on four stages, with genres
including rock, bluegrass, ska, reggae, jam bands, soul, funk and
electronica. Performers include Elephant Revival, U.V. Hippo, The Giving
Tree Band, Cash for Junkers, Broken Valley Roadshow, YAMN!, Klickitat,
HumanLab, SisterMonk, Whitewater Ramble, Trevor Green, Miller Creek, Warsaw
Poland Brothers, Nadis Warriors, Equaleyes, Secret Powers, In Walks Bud, and
many more.

The festival also features a variety of workshops and information booths
focusing on sustainable practices such as composting, recycling, organic
farming, alternative energy sources and the use of non-toxic products in
daily life. Drum and dance workshops, nature walks, educational speakers,
children's activities, and sustainable craft and food vendors are also part
of festivities.

Every year, the event's sponsors, Earthbound Productions, strive to lessen
the carbon footprint of the Love Your Mother Earth Festival. The Green Team
sorts and recycles all festival trash; and the energy used for the festival
is either bio-diesel or is replaced on the power grid by alternative energy
sources, or "green tagged."

The shuttle bus from Capt'n Trips runs on locally made bio-diesel and
vendors use biodegradable wares and sell sustainable products.
Promotional materials for the festival are also printed on recycled paper.
"We not only aim to educate our community, but to practice sustainability
from within," say sponsors.

Tickets are $40 until June 10 and $50 at the gate, and available at Rockin'
Rudy's, Wordens and the UM Box Office in Missoula, or online at

Camping fee is $10 per car, and no glass, dogs, weapons or fireworks will be
allowed.
