Har­vest Moon­ers and friends will be heat­ing up the Wind­sor Hotel Sat­ur­day March 23^rd to raise mon­ey to build three envi­ron­men­tal­ly-friend­ly cab­ins in Clear­wa­ter Man­i­to­ba. The line-up includes pop-rock pow­er duo Can­non Bros. prog-rock­/­funk/­jazz ensem­ble Mari­achi Ghost and the always dance­able Mama Cutsworth.

The event is to raise mon­ey for Clear­wa­ter Cab­ins, to pro­vide unique accom­mo­da­tion for the par­tic­i­pants of the peren­ni­al Har­vest Moon Fes­ti­val and July 1^st Sports Day. The cab­ins will also expand the capac­i­ty of the Har­vest Moon Learn­ing Cen­tre, which offers year round pro­gram­ming includ­ing agri­cul­tur­al train­ing, intern­ships, alter­na­tive build­ing work­shops and eco­log­i­cal design cours­es.

This project is the result of a long-term rela­tion­ship between Clear­wa­ter, the Har­vest Moon Soci­ety and the Uni­ver­si­ty of Man­i­to­ba Fac­ul­ty of Archi­tec­ture, which has held a stu­dio pro­gram in the com­mu­ni­ty since 2007. This pro­gram has pro­vid­ed mean­ing­ful expe­ri­ence for stu­dents, and helped to cul­ti­vate Har­vest Moon’s vision of a sus­tain­able and vibrant com­mu­ni­ty in Clear­wa­ter. Designed by Uni­ver­si­ty of Man­i­to­ba archi­tec­ture stu­dents, the cab­ins will be con­struct­ed from local­ly reclaimed mate­ri­als in the spring of 2013 with the help of vol­un­teers and com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers.

Tick­ets are $10 in advance at Organ­ic Plan­et or the Mon­drag­on, or $15 at the door.
