LAKEPORT – Lake County Community Co-op invites the community to the Spring Fling on Saturday, May 8.

The fling will take place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Leonardis Organics, 1010 Argonaut Road, Lakeport.

The second annual Spring Fling promises to gather community together in an atmosphere of good food and healthy activities to celebrate the warmer temperatures and the return of sunny skies.

The Spring Fling is one of many ways the Lake County Community Cooperative brings to life it's motto“Cultivating an Evolving Community.”

Activities will include games, dancing to live music, May pole frivolity and assisting the planting a hedgerow.

The food will be potluck, so think about food that is local, healthy, enjoyable and in season. Then, let your imagination go wild.

To maintain an atmosphere of eco-consciousness, the co-op requests that you bring your own plate, cloth napkin, utensils, cup or glass, and a serving utensil.

The gathering also will be a great place to learn more about the co-op and to meet the people that make the Co-op a vibrant and evolving community.

Ongoing co-op projects include the Friday Night Farmers' Market, Community Supported Agriculture weekly produce boxes, the buying club, community gardens and the education series “Lake County Community Co-op Presents.”

To learn more about these and other co-op activities, go to www.lakeco-op.org.

The CSA box for April 22 contained artichokes, English peas, spinach, grapefruit, baby lettuce, sweet potatoes, oranges and chard/arugula mix. All produce included in the box is organic.

There are currently nine drop sites in Lake County, assuring you a site near your community. The cost is $15 per box, paid monthly. Annual membership dues are $24/year.

The Spring Fling, like all co-op gatherings, is free and open to the public. Bring a dish that you are inspired to share. And, don't forget your dancing shoes.
