things to consider

*consider every region deserving free radio. that is media by & for the community consisting of art, culture & information that all mainstream broadcasting throws out the window. freedom of speech is one of our most downtrodden basic rights & free radio might be our best way to take it back.
*consider berea the craft capital of kentucky, a college campus of forward-thinking minds, or just another smalltown.
*consider a weekend overload of community culture & local goods for $25 that goes directly to bringing free community radio to this region.
*consider merj market as the model for a sustainable local foods provider & community center for this region. located on highway 421 next to pilot knob just minutes from berea.
*consider a festival in the blazing sun with free local springwater & showers.
*consider fresh market foods available.
*consider lending your hands to plant a freshly plowed field during a music festival.
*consider a music festival that isn't dominated by jambands & all the artists play for free!
*consider using your video camera to help us document this event for a rebate on your ticket price.

*consider a place for fun activities for our littlest community members.
*consider kids under 15 admitted for free.
*consider that merj market won't pickup any cellphone reception.
