Satellite Second Saturday

On the 11th, it's time for another Second Saturday, with a craft fair of talented and diverse local artisan vendors offering their handmade wares in the triangle in front of the Firehouse at 50th & Baltimore. Upstairs at Firehouse Bikes, enjoy 10% off anything in their stock of new and vintage bikes and bike accessories. Music will be provided by Lion Versus (performing at 3pm) and DJ Danophonic. Vendor spaces still remain; please email satellite2ndsaturday@gmail.com to register. Spaces are $15 or $25, weather permitting.

At VIX Emporium, this month's special guest will be Lisa Volta of Volta Organics. Lisa's soaps have a dedicated following and for good reason. Each bar is made of wholesome, all-natural oils, essences, clays and herbs that are sustainably sourced and usually organic. Her significant knowledge of therapeutic herbology combined with her art & design skills make for a distinctive line of bath & body products, which she has continuously refined over the past 9 years. Her home-based business now stocks 12 local shops and continues to grow. On Saturday, she will be here from 12 to 3 to represent her entire collection of soaps, balms, powders and potions and to share a bit about her process, including examples of some of her equipment and raw materials. If you've ever wanted to know what it takes to make great soap, now's your chance to ask an expert! Refreshments will be served.
