Power Down Week, July 7-14

by Zahner of Transition Milwaukee

“Reduce your carbon footprint and do it together!”

Transition Milwaukee will host the fourth annual Power Down Week, a series of events held throughout the city designed to build community while using less energy. From July 7 through July 14, individuals and organizations will participate in teaching do-it-yourself skills and workshops that incorporate less reliance on fossil fuels. Last year neighborhoods hosted a “kalegate” party, clothing swap, general fix-it gathering, honey-tasting, contra dance, homemade personal care products workshop, and many other group gatherings.

Off Humboldt & Commerce St. on Riverboat Road  Free!  
Don’t miss this great event as the sled dogs arrive in their little custom bus, ready to provide a great Winter experience. These extra special dogs are a recreational mushing team made up of ten rescued Siberian Huskies, two very special Alaskan Huskies, and their two mushers, Bonnie Ulrich and Rick Desotelle.

Cuddle up with the pups, learn about good pet care, obedience training tips, and the sport of DOG SLEDDING with plenty of time for questions, answers, and fabulous photo opportunities!
