“Monroe County’s farmers are an essential part of our local economy and our way of life - events like the Harvest Festival are an important opportunity to recognize the work they do every day,” said Legislator Robert Colby. “I’m proud to support an event that connects families with local agriculture, gives our farmers and vendors a chance to showcase what they produce, and celebrates the important role farming continues to play in our community.”
Local vendors are encouraged to participate in the Harvest Festival. The County is seeking artists, farmers market vendors, and food and beverage trucks to participate. Vendors can apply online. Applications are due by midnight on Sunday, September 13.
