Melanie Sawyer and Brian McCormack
Melanie captivated everyone with her experiences from the ALONE show, and Brian added his expertise of Indigenous heritage to what’s edible all around us. Their knowledge made the discussion not only fascinating but incredibly valuable, giving us all a deeper appreciation for the skills needed to thrive in the wild.
Did you miss the event today or didn’t catch our previous posts? No worries! Melanie will be back on September 7th during our Annual Craft Fair. It’s an event you won’t want to miss. Come for the unique gifts and stay for another chance to hear Melanie’s amazing stories and tips!
See you there!

Additionally, he will reveal a recently rediscovered firsthand account of the flag's making, not published since the early 1900s.
