Last weekend's Third Annual Flavors of Freeport was, by all accounts, the best one yet!
The weekend began Friday evening, with the always-popular Chef's Signature Series and Libations Gala. Three hours of tasting the food samples, wines, Maine vodkas, beer, desserts, candies, Whoopie Pies, and more, all from local farms, restaurants, beverage distributors, bed and breakfasts, tea rooms, distilleries, candy makers, etc. This year the event also included an art auction, featuring works by local artists from the Art Guild of Freeport.
There were also awards for best food, and best display, among those exhibiting. Betty Reez WhoopieZ took first prize for her display, and Petrillo's restaurant won the best food, both by votes of the people attending.
Saturday featured Lifestyle Demonstrations throughout the day and a Block Party with music, balloons, etc., in the late afternoon and evening. Both nights also featured music in more intimate settings.
A slide show of the events is located on the Flavors of Freeport website.
If you missed this year's event, start making plans now to be here for the Fourth Annual Flavors of Freeport in 2011!
