For the first time, this year鈥檚 festival is sponsoring an art market, with creations offered for sale by an array of local craftspersons.
Additionally, several local food vendors will be set up on the grounds, as will be a range of games available for participants of all ages. A corn hole tournament with a $5 entry fee will raise funds for Relay for Life.
