📸 festival guest, David, shared this photo and described his PawpawFest experience: “It was so fun. We came with our neighbors from NoVA. We were there before 11 and stayed until 5:30, all ate paw paws, all had several rounds of ice cream ( it was fantastic) and several rounds of great food and b**r from rising silo. Enjoyed the music, the sheep and goats and the vendors. So fun.”
