The Local Meats Fair coordinated by Tompkins County
Cooperative Extension in October 2009 was a great success, and the
event is making its way to neighboring counties! Please share the
following information with your friends and co-workers from the
Corning area. The Corning Locally Grown Foods Festival will include
a range of products in addition to meats, and the venue is located
next to a skating rink, making this a potential "family outing
destination event". Enjoy!!!
