The Art of Fine Food is this year's theme for the Wildwood Festival to be held Aug 3, 2008, at the Lorne Mountain Community Center, Lorne Mt. We plan a one day event that will focus on the quality of food, the art of preparation, local production and the celebration of eating.

• There will be booth space- please bring your own, though there is some covered veranda if you cannot- to sell local product, to promote aspects of local food production ( the chicken trailer will be on site and demonstrate!)

• We will have an organic inspector on site to talk about the new Organic regulations.

• demonstrations of cheese-making, bread, the art of ʽcoffee cuppingʼ, and more.

• There will be a food art gallery exhibition, which will get eaten at the Slow Food Potluck. Also a vegetable exhibit that is not a competition, rather a display of what we can do up here!

• First Nations will set up meat and fish drying racks and have elders on site to talk about ʽlocal foodʼ

• An animal farm will demonstrate the connection between animals and our plates.

• There is music, theatre and pageantry throughout the afternoon and a barn dance in the evening.
