garden, located on the Town Green, will feature eight
of the region’s best brews while a children’s area on
Cornwall Street will provide live entertainment and crafts for the kids.
Guests will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite landscape display in the People’s
Choice Landscape Competition. Ballots can be picked up at the entrance booths or at the
Gazebo. Completed ballots should be placed in the birdhouse at the Gazebo by noon on Sunday
