The Southern Vermont Garlic and Herb Festival once again claims the glory and distinction of raising the biggest stink in VermontAugust 30 & 31st 2008 from 10 AM to 5 PM both Saturday and Sunday.

Join garlic-lovers from throughout the northeast as they come to sample food and crafts from 50 different vendors all made from - you guessed it - garlic and herbs! Everything from garlic ice cream to garlic jelly, pickled garlic, roasted garlic, garlic braids and, of course, plain garlic bulbs of every variety will be available for sampling and purchase, along with planting and braiding demonstrations as well as cooking demonstrations.

Herbalists will also be on hand to take visitors on "weed walks," where you can learn the valuable uses of every day weeds! For aspiring gardeners, garlic growers, garlic-lovers or those simply looking for a fun way to spend a Vermont end-of-summer day, the event promises something for everyone. Some of the activities this year will be Garlic Golf, get a hole in 1 and win a great prize. There will also be a hay maze, face painting and hair braiding, and other great children's activities such as inflatable fun rides for kids. Wander around the spacious lawns sampling garlic delicacies and enjoy the festivities.
