Thanks to the peeps at the Mother Earth News I’m giving away 5 sets of weekend passes to this years Mother Earth News Fair which is taking place at the Puyallup Fair Grounds Saturday June 1st, 2013 from 9:00 AM-7:00 PM and Sunday, June 2nd from 9:00 AM-6:00 PM.
The Mother Earth News Fairs are family-oriented, sustainable lifestyle events, packed with hands-on workshops and demonstrations on renewable energy, small-scale farming, green building, organic gardening, sustainable agriculture, green home building and more! So expect to get down and dirty at the MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR!
I’ll be hanging with my gnomies at the Mother Earth News Fair from 9 am to 5 pm on Saturday, June 1st in the Botanical Interests booth with my online boyfriend Ryan so come on by and tell him what a hottie he is and who knows, maybe he’ll give you a free packet of radish seeds.
I’ll also be having coffee tea with local gardener Erica Strauss from NWEdible in the food court area from 2-3 pm on Saturday if you want to stop by and join us for an informal garden Q&A session.
All you have to do to enter this giveaway is let us know in the comments below if you can yodel or if you know anyone who can yodle. Yep. Those are the entry requirements.
This giveaway ends Sunday, May 26th, 2013 @9 pm PST and the winners will be announced in the Monday, May 27th, 2013 edition of Mornings with Mavis. You will be notified via email and have 48 hours to claim your prize.
Good Luck! I hope you win!

I would love to go! I live about 10 minutes away. Will there be plants for sale? Chickens? Or is this a more informatiional fair?
Schyler Mason says
I wish I could yodel…. Adding to bucket list!

Hi Mavis. Definitley no yodeling skills in my repertoire, but I CAN do a pretty good turkey call!

I don’t know anyone who can yodel, but that would be neat to learn! 🙂
John S says
Don’t yodel, but would love to go to the fair!
Hope says
Yodel eh aye hoo, a yodel hay
Sheila Rogers says
I don’t know how to yodel, but it would be fun to learn! I love your blog, you have encouraged me to get back out in the soil. My yard suffered while we dealt with our daughters cancer and then heart failure. 10 weeks after her last chemo treatment we ended up in Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane and she had an LVAD (heart pump) implanted. She’s cancer free and it’s been 23 months since the LVAD was implanted and she is doing good and this spring our yard is better! Thank you 🙂
Kelly A says
I can’t yodel but I definitely want to go to the fair!!
Debbie Roper says
I cannot yodel and if I were to try most people would probably cover their ears and tell me to stop. Have never heard of this fair, but sounds like it would be great to go to.
Yvonne says
Mavis, I cannot yodel but I’ll practice just so I can have tea with you and Erika. I really need to pick your brains on how to grow cabbage and cauliflower…
Elena W says
I could yodel if I had a Karioke version of one of the songs from The Sound of Music. Maybe no one would want to listen 🙂
Renee A says
Well, I’d like to think I can yodel…just to embarass my teen daughters, but sadly I cannot yodel. 🙁 I live an hour away from the fair but if I won tickets,we’d definitely spend the day there trying to absorb as much info as we could. 🙂
Jenn says
I don’t know if I can yodel, because I have never tried to yodel, because I fear what might happen in the world if I did. I do wish I had a boyfriend who had access to free radish seeds, but I promise not to move in on your man.
Cynthia says
Can’t yodel, don’t know anyone who can but I would love to go to the fair.

Can’t yodel to save my life, but I have eaten more than my fair share of Toblerone, and then some.
suzanne says
Nope thought I could when I was a kid (sound of music) poor parents. My coworker does the BEST tarzan yell, seriously you can hear it 9 acres away and you know its lunch time.
Janina says
I can pretend to yodel. 🙂 Don’t know how close it is to real yodelling or how horrible I sound, but it’s fun either way 🙂
Would love to go to the fair too!

No yodeling here. Would love to go to the fair!!!
Melissa says
nope, can’t claim to yodel or personally know anyone who can….:)
Carla Bower says
I nor my family yodels although my aunt does sound similar when she calls and sings happy birthday to one of us (or was she sounding like a baying dog?). The only person that came to mind who could yodel was Roy Rogers. It must be a lost art in this area of the country.
Lyn says
I cannot yodel but would love to go the fair.

Michelle S says
No yodelmeister’s around my house but my daughter does a mean seagull call! Does that count? 😉
Teri says
I cannot yodel, and you should count yourself lucky that I do not try. And while I don’t know anyone who can yodel, I have seen it in the movies before… but that probably doesn’t count!
Mary W. says
I definitely cannot yodel, but I have a friend who got pretty good on her own (untrained, raw talent)! I’m counting it.
Renae says
I can not yodel, nor do I aspire too. But I do love the Mother Earth News Fair!
Chela says
I can’t yodel and do not know anyone who does. I can’t wait for the fair, I am taking my mom for a late Mothers Day get together.

Just where do you come up with these ideas? No, can’t yodel but would like to come to the Fair! You are so funny! I have gnomes for you! Another great idea!
Carita says
“old-lady-who”….that is the extent of my yodeling skills. But would love to attend as this is my first year trying out raised beds and always in need of more education!
KellyC says
Can’t help with any yodelers but would love to go to the Fair!
Sue Hutchinson says
I can’t yodel but my friend Sonja could yodel well. She used to go to girls camp and bring her guitar and try to teach us all how to do it. She wasn’t successful but we all had a really good time and there was an abundance of laughter!
Amanda says
I don’t know anyone who can yodel, including myself. 🙁

I can’t yodel and I don’t think I know anyone who can!

jody says
I can’t yodel, but I wish I could! I would love tickets to Farm Fair!

I can’t yodel, but I do make up my own (sometimes silly) songs. I would love to take my husband and two young boys. My youngest LOVES Lucy. I’ve been following you since January and it would be great to meet you and all your energy.
Karrie says
I can’t yodel. Wait, I just tried, it sounded okay I think..LOL! I would love to come to this amazing fair for the first time ever – and meet you Miss Mavis! 🙂 I might have to bring along a few gnomes too if I come.
Carla Moschetti says
I can’t yodel, but I sometimes like to try, especially when my teen boys are around – it really bugs them! Ha!
Nichole Maloy says
sure I can
Marcie Dingerson says
It’s my birthday today! (did that help any?) probably not. OK hubby and I have been trying to go for awhile now, But he works weekends and can never get them off. This time around, he magically got the weekend off and we realized it was the Mother Earth News Fair. So thinking it’s fate we HAVE to go. A sitter fell out of the sky for my two youngest, so more fate. Now just trying to win tickets as they are a bit on the pricey side for me. Need to go and check out speakers now and get a schedule set up for us. My dad yodels, and would torture us consently with it growing up. He thinks he is good, I beg to differ.
Vanessa says
I could yodel if I won these. We went to the fair last year and it was great! I’ll go whether I win the tickets or not (but I hope I win).
Irene says
I can’t yodel but I bet Joel Salatin can . . . we can ask him at the fair!
janet says
I can’t yodel nor would you want me to. I am planning on coming just so I can meet you. I feel like we’re friends yet you have no idea who I am.
Thanks!
Sarah W says
No yodeling skills here either. No known yodelers either, as far as they’ve let me know. Although my kid sometimes sounds like he’s yodeling when he’s tired and delirious.
Can’t wait for the fair, I’m bringing my sister-in-law so we can get our hippy on!!
Traci says
I went last year and had a great time. Thinking about driving the couple of hours to get there again this year, maybe a free pass would help me make that decision……… no yodeling here….not yet anyway..
Erin K says
Sadly neither I nor anyone I know possesses the seemingly lost art of yodeling, at least as far as their willing to admit:-)
Diane E says
I can’t yodel but I’d love to go to the ME News Fair!
carol says
I love to sing but am not at all talented in the yodeling department. I have been known to try… Looking forward to the fair.

My mama can yodel. My yodeling is passable at best.

I can’t yodel. But I can set up an account profile and film out an entry form in a complete foreign language just to score a free sample and coupon. I’m desperate!! Lol I would love to go. Just moved to the area and am gardening and canning for the first time ever!! 🙂
