AMAZING HOMEMADE FOOD! Historic bean soup and cornbread – a recipe that’s been served up for decades! And made with many many hours of love over the open fire! Pulled Pork and Sausage sandwiches, Roasted Corn on the cob (from local growers!), Hot Dogs, Coffee, Water, Lemonade, Tea. MOST IMPORTANTLY – Homemade pies! Donated from many helping hands!
Volunteers make this event awesome. We need YOU! Contact us to join in the fun! We need help planning the event, working in the kitchen, offering educational programming, and craft vendors that make their own wares.
