The 3rd Annual Lenox Rhubarb Festival drew 1250 visitors.  It included:

The 2nd Annual Lenox Rhubarb Festival was held outside in Reading Park on a cool, sunny day.

This year’s draw was more than 750 visitors!

Due to cold (it was 42°) and pouring rain, the first ever Lenox Rhubarb Festival moved from Reading Park into the Welles Gallery. Special thanks to the Lenox Library for graciously making the space available to the Festival.

Despite the weather, approximately 300 people attended the Festival!

A small rhubarb bake sale was included in a Village Improvement Committee plant sale, to gauge interest.

Turned out, interest was strong. And thus began an annual tradition.
