On September 4, 2011, over 1,800 people attended the first EcoFair Marin. Lifehouse sponsored the keynote speaker, Dr. Temple Grandin PhD, the most well-known and accomplished adult with autism. Her talk literally brought the fair to a standstill! She spoke about her struggles as a young child growing up with autism and later, her discovery and understanding that her unique perspective gave her the ability to assess situations in a way that most people could not. Dr. Grandin also greeted fair guests as she signed copies of her books.
