FoodFest a Success!!

A thank you goes out to all who made the 3rd Annual Locally Grown FoodFest a success. Whether a farmer at the Quincy Farmers Market, a chef participating in the chefs competition, a group selling wonderfully prepared locally grown food, a musician sharing their talents, a citizen who entered the tomato contest, or if you just came out to enjoy the day--we thank you.
