We want to thank everyone who came out to cook, be a vendors, and just come to walk around and enjoy what was offered. Although the turn out of cooks was not what we wanted, we made the best of it and we are thankful for the ones who did show up! Each year we are learning from the last and trying to make it better. We look forward to seeing everyone next year!
