Halls Mill Sorghum Squeeze 2016

Locally-grown sorghum cane is put through a mule-powered press, which extracts a watery juice.

The juice is carefully boiled down over a wood fire, with cookers skimming off foam and impurities.

The thick, sweet syrup is a traditional southern condiment, and jugs of it were on sale at the festival, along with various other craft vendors. There was also live music and plate lunches.

Live entertainment was provided in the form of musicians and cloggers.

There were a variety of craft vendors selling everything from pickled eggs to alpaca wool items.
