Guests can experience a bounty of fun and flavors during the 33rd Annual 7 Sweets & Sours Festival Friday, September 21st and Saturday, September 22nd, 2007 at Kitchen Kettle Village.
Lancaster, PA, September 08, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Guests can experience a bounty of fun and flavors during the 33rd Annual 7 Sweets & Sours Festival Friday, September 21st and Saturday, September 22nd, 2007 at Kitchen Kettle Village. The festival celebrates the end of the harvest with a spotlight on pickled beets and end-of-the-season foods such as Chow Chow. What is Chow Chow and how did it get its name? How do you do the basic steps to a popular country line dance? What does a pickled beet taste like? How can you tastefully and easily serve a fall meal? Visitors will find the answers to these questions and have the opportunity to try them for themselves during the festival.
A bounty of fun awaits guests including strolling, interactive performers, pumpkin painting, line dancing and quilting demonstrations. Visitors are invited to compete in an old-fashioned “Cracker Whistling” contest Saturday at noon and vote for their favorite scarecrow from among the many fall creations displayed throughout the Village during the Annual Scarecrow Competition.
End-of-the-season foods await guests including Chow Chow Pizza, Beet Grog, Harvest Fluff, Pickled Beets, Vegetable Dip featuring Pepper Relish, and cold apple cider, along with some surprise offerings. The Kling House Restaurant and the Kettle Cafe also will feature fall food specials on their menus both days. Guests can pick up some ideas and tips from our culinary specialists during the various cooking demonstrations to create their own harvest temptations. Beet-iful Barb, our beet expert, will offer cooking tips, recipes and facts. Always held the third Friday and Saturday in September, rain or shine, the 7 Sweets & Sours Festival runs 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday, September 21, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, September 22.
