The celebration began with a fun cider press building workshop, led by Fruit Share volunteer Darby Jones.Everyone really enjoyed building their own cider presses to take home. And they looked great!
Between the cider press workshop and the potluck, everyone had the opportunity to give input on a book which will be released in the spring (all about prairie/backyard fruit!) – written by our very own Getty Stewart.
We even got a sneak preview of pages of the book!The sneak peek of the book was accompanied by a Fruit Share presentation area.The book will feature all kinds of things regarding backyard prairie fruit, as described here.And of course, we had to thank our sponsors and partners 🙂We also sectioned off an area for our own lovely marketing materials.The recipe swap station was located right beside the buffet. The food looked so delicious, however, that we forgot to photograph it! But it was every bit as good as it looked.After we had all filled our bellies, I gave a little presentation to demonstrate how everyone's contributions led to an incredibly successful harvesting season. All in all, our Grand Finale was a great time!
