"We're the same,' said Rod Olson, project manager of Land of Dreams, an urban farm in the city's southeast where the event was held.
'We're wanting the same things,' he added. 'We want health for our kids, we want community, we want laughter. We want good food.
'And we find that that happens here,' he said, 'and so we thought it's a, it's the perfect place to host this event.'
