Many festival exhibitors offer ongoing tastes and samples of their wonderful products at their booths. A few provide more elaborate demonstrations and scheduled workshops. Agriculture, Artist, and Local Livelihood demonstrations at booths are ongoing all weekend at the exhibitor’s discretion unless otherwise indicated as scheduled.
