Editor Julie Keith on Fox6 & WBHM's Tapestry Today

Edwin Marty and I were on Fox6 today talking about Thicket's story on local farming and the importance of food being produced locally. And the segment went well, but the neatest thing was connecting with folks at the station whom I have not seen in several months, hearing their comments about the magazine, and seeing other guests on the show who I already know or would like to know.

For example, I got there a little late and literally ran into the building ahead of two older couples carrying boxes—turns out that was the brilliant potter Jerry Brown from Hamilton, Alabama, there to promote his pottery festival this weekend. And garden expert Linda Askey, who writes a story on container gardening that will appear in our second issue, happened to be there as well with some lovely garden pots. Edwin knew Linda through the garden/farming world and knew of Jerry Brown too, so there was lots of talking on and off the set..."old home week," as my grandparents used to say. It was a great trip to the station, not just for the chance to promote the magazine and Edwin's remarkable efforts at Jones Valley Urban Farm, but for the opportunity to again find folks in the Thicket. Folks can view the TV segment here >>.

And then tonight, to complete a great day of Thicket news, a segment on the magazine ran on WBHM's Tapestry program. You can download the audio file of the interview on their site >>.
