On February 12, 2011 at the Full Moon resort in Big Indian, NY, a variety of organizations and individuals interested in creativity and sustainability gathered and collaborated for a weekend of events combining art, music, food from local farms, and outdoor activities like shelter building and snowshoeing, to create a forum to bring attention to peak water and peak foodshed issues. Suzanne Thorpe curated a thought-provoking evening of performances which were recorded and broadcast live by Sam Sebren and Tom Roe for free103point9 and WGXC.
