The afternoon's events will include demonstrations from Canada's Seachoice Guide and the Ecology Action Center, live entertainment and a touch tank and petting farm for the kiddies.

This is a great opportunity to get out with your family and friends and meet the people putting food on your table. Check it out-You never know what treats you'll discover, made right here in Nova Scotia. Hope to see you there!
