You can see all of the events and website links on the MyLocalFood calendar.
I’m going on the Wine Trail Ride and if all goes well I’d like to check out the new market in the morning.
It does seem like this weekend has more events than any other this summer. What are you leaning towards?
Hopefully I’ll check out the market in the morning and the Schwab’s BBQ in the afternoon. I wanted to do the FedUp! bike tour but can’t fit it all in as we have another commitment. Sunday I’ll be attending “Food Matters”. I suggest going early to get a seat. P.S. – The Emporium is licensed.
