Do we have food, you may wonder? You bet! Hungry folks at this annual event have the option of stopping by the Insect Deli for taste treats such as "Chocolate Chirpies" (chocolate-covered crickets) and stir-fried mealworms. For the less adventurous, a food stand will be available with hamburgers, hotdogs and drinks and there are several other options within a four block walk.
