This event does sound like a fun day...hope it all goes well. It's great when people plan things and put in the energy to carry them out. I am too far away to attend. But then I am close enough to Mary Janes Farm...so one shall not complain! I am looking forward to being a vendor there.

We are asking that folks do NOT bring pets (i.e. dogs etc) and NO ALCOHOL!
If folks want to bring livestock to sell/trade, please let us know ahead of time. You will have to provide your own pens - we need to know how large an area you need for bio-security at our place.
