Thank you to everyone who made the 2nd Annual Cabbage, Potato, and Bacon Festival an overwhelming success.

​

We extend our deepest gratitude to our host chef, Dr. Hari Pulapaka. His leadership, vision, and commitment were instrumental in shaping the festival’s culinary experiences, and his dedication helped ensure that both the Streetside Brunch and Taste of Hastings Family Dinner completely sold out.

​

We are also incredibly grateful to the many chefs, restaurants, farmers, media partners, volunteers, and our Hastings Main Street Board of Directors who contributed their time and talents. From cooking demonstrations and the Great Hastings Mow Down lawn mower races to the Miss Potato Queen Beauty Pageant, panel discussions, and Gospel & Grub, every aspect of the festival reflected the spirit of community and hard work.

​

Thanks to countless hours of preparation by so many, Main Street was alive with energy and enthusiasm, drawing crowds in a way that hasn’t been seen in years. Our Main Street businesses experienced a tremendous weekend, and we are sincerely thankful to everyone who came out to support them and celebrate our community’s agricultural heritage.

​

We look forward to seeing you again next year!
