2008 Outdoor Cinema Series
Greenstone is the Inland Northwest’s largest builder and developer and we are proud to offer our 2008 Outdoor Cinema Series. This will be the first year that we are able to offer this series in five of our Master Planned Communities. Greenstone has sponsored the cinema series at Pavilion Park in our Meadowood project at Liberty Lake for the past ten years. We are excited to be able to bring this amenity to some of our other communities. We will be looking to expand this series in the next few years, so we will look forward to seeing you at the movies.

Pie in the Sky (9/20/2007)
In cooperation with SustainableTable.org, Spokane County Extension and Slow Food
Spokane River, Greenstone helped sponsor a community outing on Monday, August 13th
at Liberty Lake’s Pavillion Park. With a goal of supporting and raising visibility
about local foods and food producers, the event used PIE as a theme and had a local
producer fruit market, local pie bakers, a pie-crust making demo and live music as
background to the pie walks (like the good old-fashioned cake walk). It was a great
time for hundreds of people in the community and we hope to make it an annual tradition!

"Free Fertilizer"
Now a four year tradition, Phosphate Free Fertilizer will be distributed free of
charge to any resident of Liberty Lake in the designated Liberty Lake watershed
area. Those who are eligible will receive a voucher by mail from the Liberty Lake
Sewer and Water District. The fertilizer is being provided in partnership by Greenstone
Homes, the Lands Council and the Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District to help
protect the water quality of Liberty Lake and its watershed.
Liberty Lake Farmers’ Market Extends 2007 Season (9/20/2007)
Greenstone Homes & Neighborhoods founded and still sponsors the Liberty Lake Farmers’
Market as part of our belief that access to healthy, local, fresh foods is an important
component of a healthy community. Due to growth in the number of farmers this year, the
Market vendors decided to extend the season through October 13th. Our Rocky Hill, Villas,
Big Trout Lodge, Meadowwood and River District residents are a short walk or bike ride away
from the luxury of knowing the farmer who grew their food. The tricky part of ped-commuting
is figuring out how to get all the delicious food and quality crafts home!
