Marisa McClellan, will be presenting a cooking demonstration at 4:00 pm. Marisa's goal is to get people canning, preserving and generally learning how to preserve the abundance of the seasons. She writes a blog and teaches classes in and around Philadelphia. Her website, FoodinJars is a great resource and a lot of fun.

While you're here you'll want to meander over to the Market and sink your teeth into some scrumptious pies and other sweet treats. Take a ride on the train, enjoy a real pony ride, contests, and participate in plenty of other exciting activities that are fun for everyone!
