The event aims to support the mutually-beneficial, interconnected relationships between and among the farming and local communities. It will educate, entertain and inspire through demonstrations, presentations, performances and interactive opportunities, with the goal of highlighting local farming and community resources and facilitating positive and productive experiences for farmers, growers, businesses and families in support of healthful living.
Of special note:
• Meteorologist Jeremy Lewan (WNEP-16) will be the keynote speaker.
• In the spirit of inclusivity, this event provides American Sign Language (ASL) access throughout the day.
• The event is family-friendly, with many activities planned in a children’s tent.
• Vendors will offer a wide variety of goods, services, and information.
• It will feature presentations throughout the day, including cooking demonstrations, beekeeping, mushroom foraging, gardening, and conservation.
• A Dalton Borough sidewalk sale, free music, and a Dalton Fire Company fundraiser will run simultaneously in town.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the community-supportive programs and projects of the DCCA.
