The 3rd Annual Saskatoon Anarchist Book-Fair is quickly approaching, and we
are looking for vendors, workshop facilitators, and volunteers to help make
the event a great success!The fair will take place this year on
November 7th to 9th, 2008 at the Cosmo Senior Citizen's Centre off Broadway (614 11th Street East). Friday will consist of an evening social with details to be announced. Saturday will be the jam-packed day of book fair, including free vegan food, workshops, discussions, activist networking, and of course TONS of alternative and DIY media! Saturday night, we will be hosting our infamous
Anarchist Book Fair party, which will include live music, drinks, and dancing all under the theme of
Glamarchy! On Sunday, we finish it off with another day of food, organizing, and workshops (location TBA).
The event will be wheel-chair accessible and all ages, with free admission, free vegan food, free workshops, and free child-care. Donations will be accepted at the door to recoup expenses.
If you run a distro, store, collective, or other organization and would like to register a table to distribute your anarchy-related wares, please try to confirm with us
before October 31st by filling out the following form. Tables are free!
Likewise, if you want to lead a free workshop, please get in touch by filling out the following form. We are especially looking for creative and unusual workshop ideas that build community, deal with current needs, share useful skills, and are inclusive. We can supply electrical outlets,
white-boards/flip-charts, chairs, tables, pens/paper, and quiet space – let us know what you need. Again, please confirm with us by October 31st.
If you want to volunteer a couple hours to help out before or during this fun and busy day, we need you! Let us know before-hand what you enjoy most: childcare, cooking, cleaning, set-up, take-down, transporting items by bike or car, planning, or promotion, OR just show up on the day and ask someone what needs to be done. All contributing efforts are highly valued, and we
encourage drop-in visitors to take a shift washing dishes, sweeping, or moving tables to lighten the workload for everyone.
