happy turkey-and-stuffing day!

In the December 2 issue of Fresh Water you'll read about Cleveland resident Kelly Flamos, who co-founded the Poultry Project. This heartwarming non-profit helps AIDS-stricken African families with help from an unlikely flock of angels -- chickens.

On Friday, November 26, the Poultry Project will hold its Chicken Coop Design Competition 2010, which has garnered over 60 entries from Cleveland and around the globe. Designs must depict coops that accommodate six birds or less and be suitable for urban and suburban settings.

The event will be held from 2 to 7 p.m. at the Wooltex Gallery (1900 Superior Ave.). It is free and features music, food, fun, and fuzzy feelings.

Enjoy the holidays!
