September 21, 2002
Food for Thought Festival

 

The 2002 Festival was a great success! Here are some photos of the event. Links at the left lead to more information.
Stiltwalkers Laura Zirngabel and Rob Summerbell  welcomed festival attendees.
Seven-year-old Katie Koza prepared her winning recipe, "Red Green Yellow Chicken Kebobs." Katie won the elementary school division of the "Look Who's Cooking" recipe contest. More than 200 people entered the contest's six divisions.
Area school children, along with David Bruce, standing at left, and Sara Tedeschi (in large costume) put on a street theater performance. The play, titled, "Why the sky is so far away," is an African folktale.
