New “Eat & Drink Norfolk” event comes to Simcoe
Simcoe, Ontario – Norfolk County Agricultural Society, producers of the Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show are excited to announce the launch of “Eat & Drink Norfolk”, a fantastic new event that will take place in the Aud at the Norfolk County Fairgrounds on Friday, April 23rd from 5pm-10pm and again on Saturday, April 24th from Noon to 10pm.
Eat & Drink Norfolk will provide an opportunity to “mix & mingle”, enjoy demonstrations and entertainment and sample many of the fine food products available right here in Norfolk County.
“As an agricultural society it was a natural for Norfolk County Fair & Horse Show to organize a show that promotes the many agricultural products and retailers from within Norfolk County”, says Dave Taylor, Event Manager for the Norfolk County Agricultural Society.
Many well known restaurants and food producers are excited to demonstrate their creations using local foods, including restaurants such as The Blue Elephant, The Causeway, The Belworth House and the Delhi Multicultural groups. Specialty producers include The Cider Keg, Jensen Cheese, Kernal Peanuts, VG Meats, British Baked Goods and Purple Daze Lavendar. Wineries such as Florence Estate Wines and Villa Nova will be on hand, as well as breweries from the region. In total, it is expected that over 40 different exhibitors will be serving up their great tastes. People can truly sample their way all around Norfolk County in one evening.
Admission tickets are $8, available at the door or in advance at the Fairgrounds office. Food and beverage tasting tickets will be available at the show for just $1 each. Each “taste” sample will cost between one and three tickets.
The new Eat & Drink Norfolk event is something quite different than anything in the past. This event is a fundraising initiative for the Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show in partnership with Scotlynn sweet pac, Scotiabank, CD98.9, Simcoe Reformer, Direct from Norfolk and the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
If you would like to attend this event as one of our special guests, please confirm with me before Thursday, April 23rd and we’ll have tickets and a media kit set aside for you.
Thanks for your interest and bon appetit!
