Boysenberry Must Have Food
The Boysenberry Ice Cream cookie is a must have while at the festival. It is so big it fed our family of 5!
We really enjoyed the Boysenberry sausage, The Elote, The Short ribs and the Pierogies which were my #1 favorite. They also have some delicious sweets from last year that are back again such as the fun bun, the alligator bites and the Boysenberry and Apricot Pulled Pork Sandwich with chips.
