OFF
& ON - A Little History
Through
the years it became evident that the responsibilities of
both maintaining the land and putting on an annual faire
were too great a burden on too few people. Every year we not
only maintained and improved the property, we also donated
too many non-profit organizations, needy families and
scholarship funds. So, in council, those folks who had
continued to envision, design and create the space for the
Okanogan Family Barter Faire, decided to create a 501 c4 non
profit corporation, called the "Okanogan
Neighbors." As the Barter Faire became the Okanogan
Family Faire [OFF], those who took care of the property
became Okanogan Neighbors [ON]. Together we figuratively,
metaphorically and realistically became OFF and ON!
