There was a time when seeing a
farm animal in the heart of Bayview wasn't unusual. Not so much these though,
as a sheep with a winning personality found out Saturday during a celebration of
Earth Day in the heart of Bayview.
Aside from food served up by
Radio Africa's Eskender and friends, Shawn the
Sheep was the most popular attraction. Shawn is a four-legged friend
of Michael Hamman who brought him to the celebration along with
a coral of hay bales and a bag of feed.
Festival performances were
literally kicked-off by Rachel from the Bayview YMCA who led
participants in kick-boxing moves. 3rd Street Youth Center and Clinic's
3sp youth rapped their truth at the microphone. Community
organizations, such as Renaissance Parents of Success and
the Bayview Child Health Center, passed out informational cards
and flyers that didn't fly off on their own in the Bayview breeze.
SF Environment
and the Red Cross Bay Area also set up shop to share
information about Zero Waste and disaster preparedness.

Also celebrating were
Quesada Gardens neighbors who turned out to volunteer in the
gardens, and Urban Farm Girls
who held their own Earth Day event at their studio on Wallace Avenue.
