We had some people wanting to know a little bit more about the previous mini conference that we had back in early 2011, so here we go!
From our post on The Tiny Life:
We had an interesting start, Saturday’s events were pushed to Sunday as tornadoes touched down in North Carolina, we lost a few folks because of it, but still had a decent turn out. We had decided to work along side Charlotte’s green ecofriendly event because we had so much over lap. In the process I had promised to lend my chickens to the people talking about urban farming . My day started out at 7am – I am not a morning person – and it off to wrangle some chickens from my coop for the urban farming section of the event. They certainly weren’t happy with me for most of the morning, but we got our tent setup for the day.
The day started off slow, but things really picked up quickly. I gave three talks through out the day on Tiny Houses to around 50 people interested in Tiny Houses. I also had boat loads of people coming up to me and saying “you’re that Tiny House guy aren’t you”. The coverage by Mother Earth, Tiny House Blog and Treehugger resonated loudly with the people of Charlotte and surrounding. So most of the day I was juggling talking about urban chickens, tiny houses, and tours for the off the grid container home.
