Happily Natural Day 2010

[nicolette0]

Hey yall,

I visited this forum to see if there was any talk about the Happily Natural Day events happening this month in Atlanta and Richmond, Virginia. I'm from California and looking for any excuse to travel...lol...

So, has anyone been to the previous Happily Natural Days? I've heard that they've been doing this for almost 10 years or so and that it is a type of festival with food, music, speakers, vendors, etc.

Anyone here planning on attending this event? Anyone interested? Please let me know. It sounds like something interesting and very positive. If you are interested, check out the link below:

I would love to hear some reviews also. I'm actually going to ATL that weekend and hope to stop by the event on Saturday. It sounds really interesting

Hi ladies. I have been to Happily Natural Day in Richmond a few times. It was fun and interesting. The thing I liked the most was seeing all the natural heads, the presentation on symbolism as it relates to African Americans, and the vendors. The festival in Richmond is not huge, so if you are local it would be worth swinging by. I would not travel a really long distance to come to it unless I had another engagement the same weekend. I might go to the one in Richmond this year since it will give me an excuse to go home to visit family. I think it is being held at the Mosque this year like it was a few years ago.

Awww...I only wish that we had these types of events in the SF Bay Area (Cali). Hmmm...perhaps there may be. I'll see...

Thanks for the advice, though! ;-)

I know, right? Sounds really nifty. If you go, I'd love to see some flicks or vids about it on youtube. I noticed you are a youtuber, Ms-GG! ;-)

So, did anyone attend the events for happily natural day? I'd love to know who it was and possibly check out some photos...! ;-)

I went and had a really nice time. It wasn't very big, but the vibe was terrific. So many conscious people. It wasn't just about hair, but a lifestyle. Loved it. I didn't take any pictures but Pam from KoilsbyNature was a vendor and she put up some cool shots in an album on her Facebook page. Just search for her page.
