An Epic First Foodie Fest
The First Ever Defiance Foodie Fest was quite the challenge with being a new event, planning in less than 2 months, and finding qualified food vendors. But, people came out in a big way! Over 400 people walked through the event, visited vendors, or got a bite to eat and over 130 people attended the learning sessions. The day was filled with great music, new connections, good eats, artisan products, and an electricity one could only experience by being there.
Needless to say, I am planning my 2018 event as I type. I welcome all foodie-curious folks to attend and I welcome all NW Ohio & nearby companies to contact me to be a part of the event. I hope to bring in all the local entities in the slow foods movement, from farmers to restaurants to handmade wellness products.
