Getting Going

Secrets of Gaia presents:
Celebrating Gaia! (A grid wide earth day celebration hunt)
April 2nd, 2010 through May 3th, 2010.
Application Deadline March 12, 2010!
Hunt limit: 75 Vendors and will be ordered in the order applications are received.

A bit about our theme:
This hunt is to celebrate earth day and the planet we all call home. For those not aware Gaia is the Greek name used to refer to mother earth (there are more then 25 names for her in various cultures), some call her goddess but she was much more then that, she is the earth itself. So, for this hunt you can go more mainstream with your gifts and lean toward earth day celebrations or get more into the mythological side of it. I want to leave things open both for the ability to reach a wider audience and for the ability for each vendor to express themselves creatively however they see fit. I am including resources that range from earth day to Greek mythology simply to help everyone out and allow you to see the wide range of options this theme has to offer.
