PepperfestThe 2019 PepperFest was our biggest year as we partnered with the Town of Pittsboro and closed down the streets to hold the 12th Annual celebration of local food, sustainable farms and farmers as well as the local businesses and community. The move to a centralized location proved to be a good decision and we added an electric car show for educating the public. We estimated 2,500 folks in total attending with 110 booths of food, nonprofits and beverages. The agenda was packed with entertainment and activities for kids.
