IHM School continues its annual food and music Festival as a busy one-day Event on August 14.
The price is right to celebrate with a one-of-a-kind, old-fashioned family festival: the eighth annual Blueberry Fiddle Festival, organized by Richmond’s Immaculate Heart of Mary School. Admission is FREE; parking is a one-time $5. Enjoy live music and delicious food, browse the craft vendors, run a sack race, participate in an original New England melodrama, cheer for your favorite fiddler (the contestants are judged partially on audience response!), and join us for a family contra dance. Lots of fun for all ages!
The festival is held at Cheshire Fairgrounds (Route 12, Swanzey, NH) on Saturday, August 14, 9am-9pm. For more information, visit <http://www.blueberryfiddlefestival.com> or call 603-239-6495.
