We rolled into Sautee around 11am on Saturday November 10. This area is absolutely beautiful! Our venue couldn’t have been better. We were at the Sautee-Nacooche Community Center which is nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. Our visit coincided with a community fundraiser for the Latin American outreach program.
There were all kinds of great Fair Trade garments and tapestries from Latin America for sale. Witt & I purchased some pretty sweet rainbow colored friendship bracelets. Witt played a 30 minute set, then I played DJ to a Latin American Dance troupe. Christina added her lovely vocal styling’s to Witt’s first song. Fredando held down the table and did a great job raising $$$.

Again there were several emotional responses to the “Eyes Wide Open” exhibit. One man just happen to see the boots as he was driving by. He stopped, walked through the boots, began to weep, and as he was leaving he saluted us.
Cynthia Green, of Gainsville, Ga.
We were invited to stop by the Sweetwater Coffee house after we broke everything down. They treated us to free Fair Trade coffee and vegan cookies, yum! Right when we walked in they were playing a CD they bought at the event from us. What a cool stop!!
