Or peach upside down cake, and peach cobbler parfaits? We could go on and on... but the best thing would be for you to come on down to the circle and immerse yourself in all this peachy goodness!
Plus... live music, a Cheese Workshop, and lots of fun kids activities including a Teddy Bear Clinic, "Compost" Cupcake Making and a Peach Blossom craft at the ACE Tent.
