There are several food vendors set up including Blow 'N Smoke, Thai Food, and a few others. Vendors are hard at work selling everything from plants to bracelets to travelling desserts with many activities as well. There's face painting, a bouncy house, "Add Water, Make Dance" workshop, some totes with toys inside for the kids to play with, etc. Live entertainment is also anticipated today including "Country Mountain Thunder," "Pop Rockers," A1 Studios, Rebels of Rhythm, Garlynda's Fancy Feet, and more! Head out, enjoy the beautiful day, grab some lunch, and check out the vendors and live entertainment while learning more about Developmental Services Awareness.
