AFA FESTIVAL 2008

VENDORS AND FESTIVAL WINE GARDEN

Each year the Arts for All Festival has wonderful artists and artisans who share their imaginative works with all who attend this event. However, many people also come to have their taste buds tempted by the delicious, unusual and tasty food offered by the many vendors who come back each year. Your tastes may run from spicy barbecue to giant turkey legs to Indian tacos and rich German food…..from delicious sweet donuts to salty roasted nuts to sugary funnel cakes…..from Hiwaiian shaved ice to Coke Floats to a Brownie Supreme…..as you can see, whatever your taste buds demand, the Festival vendors supply it with a smile and good word for their customers. This year we will have 24 vendors.

Last year was the first year for the Wine Garden, featuring five Oklahoma wineries who gave samplings and sold bottles of wine to guests. The area was filled with bistro tables and chairs and bales of hay resting under the big tree in the area. Wines were enjoyed throughout the day and evening along with cheeses and snacks from vendors in the area. This year will include more vendors and a chocolate booth to compliment the wines.

Last year’s Food and Wine Contests were competitive and fun. Prizes are given in the food categories for Best of Show, Best Entrée, Best Dessert and Best Snack. Wine recognition is given in the Red and White categories. This year’s contests will be at 4:00 pm on Saturday with local restaurateurs and winery maestros judging our events.
