A Big, Thank You for the past PawPaw Fests!
To everyone who came out, pitched in, participated, and made this fun fruit festivity what it is!
2020 was a phenomenal year for pawpaws! Between the release of For the Love of PawPaws and our Fourth Annual PawPaw fest people have been coming out in droves larger than pawpaw groves to support the return of this tropical forest dweller into our homes, yards and bellies!
Thank you to the PawPaw! And thank you to Lindsey Welch once again for capturing some of the magic moments at this year’s PawPaw Fest!
Here are a few of our favorite highlights of years past memorializing our love of paw paws. Thank you to Lindsey Welsh for her beautiful photos of 2018’s event. As well as Nicolo Massa of VGN Productions for putting together this video capturing some big smiles and moments. Finally a big shout out to all the volunteers who helped make it all possible. We hope you all enjoyed and hope to see you next year!
