Event guests sample a variety of cakes, candies and desserts and cast a ballot for each category while savoring the offerings. For interested parties more skilled outside the kitchen, a fourth category, table display, is also chosen by our guests for the evening. Minimal fee involved to attend. When you step on to Main Street in the Historic District of Smithfield, you feel as if you have stepped into a time gone by, where locking your doors was optional and you were greeted by a friendly nod or wave.
Antique vendors display their wares and crafters offer their home-crafted gift ideas.
Heritage crafters demonstrate a vocation of times past - the blacksmith, kettle corn popper, and herbalist. Classic and Antique car owners stand by their Model T's and Cadillac Convertibles. Strolling entertainers juggle handkerchiefs, tell stories and make balloon animals. Live local and regional entertainment perform center stage on the Green of the Smithfield Times. Homemade water crafts vie for best time, presentation and sinking at the Pagan River Raft Race.
