Local Produce Takes Center Stage
This year's fair boasted a phenomenal selection of local produce. From prize-winning pumpkins (seriously, some were HUGE!) to the freshest veggies I've ever seen, the farmers' market was a major highlight. I even snagged some ridiculously delicious homemade jam – best I’ve ever had!
More Than Just Produce!
But it wasn't just about the food, although that was a major draw. There were also plenty of artisan crafts, live music, and family-friendly activities. Think petting zoos, bouncy castles, and even a blacksmith demonstrating his craft – pretty cool, right? It was a proper community event, showcasing the best of Carrick.
