Who's hungry? At this year's Madison County Covered Bridge Festival, there will be 39 food and beverage vendors, not counting additional vendors in the Farmer's Market area (coming soon)! That's a lot of options. Trends we're seeing? Dirty sodas and energy drinks, frozen beverages and desserts (let's hope for warm weather), cheese and bacon on just about everything, and lots of meat - pork, beef, chicken, and even bison! What are you most looking forward to?
