Among the vendors who will be offering food and beverage samples at the event are Smiling Hara Tempeh, No Evil Foods, Ulimana, Oskar Blues, Ararat Wine Distributor and Sour Grapes.
The price of the event is $15 for adults and $5 for children 12 years of age and younger. All funds go directly to the Chicken Rescue and Sanctuary.
The event will also feature a silent auction of local art, fine crafts and other items. Live music will be provided by classical guitarist Paul Bowman, an owner (with his wife Annamaria) of Chicken Rescue and Sanctuary.
