Located at the middle of the festival, the pop-up village featured 10 beautiful tiny mobile homes, all of which clocked in at 200 square feet or less. The expo was organized to show the public one example of a sustainable lifestyle with a small carbon footprint. The tiny house tours also demonstrated to visitors how it’s possible to live large even in a small space. The organizer of the tiny house village, Beth Anne Norrgard, for instance, showed off her 78-square-foot home that boasts custom stained glass, chandelier, and even a porch.
