It takes place at Millarville Racing & Agricultural Society Racetrack, where organizers advise visitors to dress in layers in order to visit both indoor and outdoor vendors.

Some of the unique items available this year include handcrafted gifts that come with generous helpings of “jokes, puns and sarcasm” courtesy of Green Tendril Creative.

There’s fermented hot sauce, and canned goods from Culture Shocked, black garlic and garlic scape centric preserves from Forge and Farm, gourmet mushrooms from Mr. Grow It All and handmade name puzzles from Puzzles by Glen.
