Highlander is expanding with an 80 acre farm next door that has a beautiful apple orchard. We will be having hayrides and apple picking trips to this farm as part of Homecoming this year, so come and help us plan for the future.

We will celebrate the lives of Lewis Sinclair, Nayo Watkins, James Orange, and other supporters of justice, to remind us of the shoulders that we all rest upon.

There will also be great music, children's activities, workshops on What's up at Highlander and Making Change beyond the Election, and a barbecue dinner (including apple desserts!). We are also pleased to share the "One Day of the War - How Would You Spend It?" exhibit from the American Friends Service Committee.
