It really was a great show. I'm almost sorry it was so busy. I didn't get much of a chance to get to see what the other vendors had to offer! Well, almost sorry.
I haven't heard what the total was for the food bank collection, but I'm sure it was a lot. So many people came. I'd have to say twice as many as last year. Easy.
Thanks to everyone who came out!
So tired.

I bought some granola from the Hearty Bakery at this event. It is by FAR the best granola I have ever had. It has lots of good stuff in it but unlike many others, it is not overly sweet. I wrote to ask them where I could get more as they do not seem to have a store front and I was told that they will be at the Westboro Farmer's Market starting May 17th. If you are a granola fan, you owe it to yourself to get some!
