Sayler Park — Resident
Megan Ayers is promoting healthy living. The 33-year-old is launching Sayler Park Sustains, a free festival with old-time music and demonstrations on sustainable living from noon to 10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, at Nelson Sayler Town Square Park. “I wanted to have a day to celebrate community and sustainability in Sayler Park,” she said. “With Sayler Park Sustains we want to give something back to the community. It’s a day-long celebration of community, sustainability and stewardship.” There will be free performances by local bands including: The Part Time Gentlemen, Casey Campbell, Red Cedars, Ben Knight and the Well Diggers, Terminal Union and the Tillers. The genre is old-time folk music. In between bands there will be hands-on demonstrations about urban chicken keeping, doit-yourself solar installation, organic farming, permaculture and beekeeping. “There are so many people in Sayler Park who grow their own food and we want to show people that you don’t have to spend your money on produce,” she said. “You can have your own garden. You can feed your family healthily without spending more than $2 on seeds. We want to open people’s

minds to that because a lot of people don’t think they can do it.” Ayers follows the same philosophy and plants many of the vegetables she and her husband eat. She also owns three chickens. Ayers said there will be food trucks at the festival and there may be sustainable brewers who grow and harvest their own hops. Local vendors including people who participate in the weekly farmers market will be there to sell fruits, vegetables, baked goods and other items. She added that there will be activities for children including face painting, and children will be able to take home a pot with seeds in it to grow their own plant or flower. T. J. Male, vocalist and guitar player for the Part Time Gentlemen, helped team up with Ayers to line up musicians for Sayler
Park Sustains. He said he was happy to help and was not surprised to hear that Ayers was trying to get a festival off the ground. “She’s always been the type of person to want to start something to benefit others and promote living more naturally,” he said. “She’s always told me, ‘I want to start my own festival,’ and she did.” Ayers said she hopes people will have a great time and leave the festival having learned something new. “We want it to be a community celebration and also something that people in Cincinnati can come down and see,” Ayers said. “It’s a way to shine a light on Sayler Park. It’s a party and the whole city’s invited.” To learn more about Sayler Park Sustains, visit www.facebook.com/say lerparksustains or email saylerparksustains@ gmail.com.
