Live music will be provided by Rich Wyman. Admission is still free. Ritzinger said the produce and offerings will still be provided by the best vendors he can find. “We try to keep everyone in line as far as offering the most organic foods and products as [the vendors] can,” he said. “I inspect every farm of those who want to participate to make sure they aren’t using GMOs and things like that.

Gordon would wait until they got dirty again to take photos so he could paint them in their everyday life.” Hoffman Exotics and Fine Art, 4207 N.
