In addition to exhibitors and speakers, the fair offers free childcare, children's games, a talent show, petting zoo, raffles, bake sale, apple pie baking contest and a food concession. Learn while having fun with the whole family.

Comment by Tim Woods on September 12, 2011 at 6:32pm: There will be speakers/demonstrations in gardening, canning, small animals, alternative power, survival skills, emergency planning. We still need someone for all other forms of food preservation and Ithacan expertise!!!!! Please call me at 607-844-3921.

Comment by IthacaNancy on September 12, 2011 at 4:53pm: Any updates? Will there be a food preservation/management component, and do you need anyone to help with that?

Comment by Katie Quinn-Jacobs on August 16, 2011 at 11:43am: Tim,

I have a Preparedness Basics presentation I can give, if you are looking for speakers on that topic. See PreparedTompkins.org posts, Preparedness Basics Part One & Part Two.

Also, have a presentation connecting home food preserving to local foodshed dev't and food security. See, IthaCan.

And it would be great if we could have an IthaCan table at the event. It'd take some coordination with a few of us to take shifts "manning" the table though.
