Published September 10, 2009 03:05 pm - Billed on the Cannabis Revival 2009 Web site as “the biggest marijuana law reform festival in the Midwest,” the Landreth Park event promises live music, vendor booths offering art, crafts and clothing and plenty of food and beverages. Cannabis Revival to push reform, awareness and entertainment By Dave Woods
dwoods@joplinglobe.com Linda Yelvington said she’s excited about attending her first Cannabis Revival in Joplin and helping spread the word about drug-law reform. “We have some nationally known speakers coming that are tremendous,” the 54-year-old cannabis activist said. “When can you have so much fun and be educated at the same time?” While much of Saturday’s event is dedicated to education and drug-policy reform, the festival offers a long list of musical entertainment too. “It’s going to be great,” said Yelvington, who moved to Joplin six months ago. “It’s the end of summer … everybody’s got to party.” Billed on the Cannabis Revival 2009 Web site as “the biggest marijuana law reform festival in the Midwest,” the Landreth Park event promises live music, vendor booths offering art, crafts and clothing and plenty of food and beverages to keep the crowd satisfied. For months, dozens of devoted marijuana-reform advocates have been planning, securing city permits, lining up food and other vendors and painting giant, green cardboard pot leaves to help guide attendees to the event site. Darrell Sour, a 26-year-old Joplin resident and Cannabis Revival volunteer, played up the “good” aspects of the event.
