Arts Fest: Meat-on-a-Stick and Other Fest Foods

Meat-on-a-stick has been a staple of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts for years, and the spreads out during Wednesday’s Children’s Day certainly didn’t disappoint. In addition to at least three meat vendors, there were fries, lemonade, strudel, hot AND corn dogs, and lots of other treats for sale.

Take a look at what we saw, and check out the full list of food vendors below. Let us know your favorite Arts Fest food in the comments!
