how2heroes, Smolak Farms and Boston's Best Chefs Throw a Hoedown!

If you're free Sunday, August 29th, I highly recommend you hit HOEDOWN 2010 at Smolak Farms in Andover, MA. It's going to be so much fun. Part food fest, part carnival with games and a dunk tank (yes, i'll be one of the victims) part hillbilly dance party with a live bluegrass band and part farm fest (animal farm, u-pick & hayrides). There will also be a Hoedown Baking Throwdown sponsored by King Arthur Flour. Open to everyone who comes with great prizes for the winners and free King Arthur Flour for all entrants.

The food fest will include a pig roast manned by the lover of all things pork himself Jason Bond of Beacon Hill Bistro (and soon to open his own restaurant right in my neighborhood - yeah!). There will also be delicious bites and how-to demos from some of the Boston areas best sweet and savory chefs:

Brian Poe, Poe's Kitchen at the Rattlesnake

Chris Parsons, Parsons Table

Ben Hasty, Brasserie JO

Alina Eisenhauer, Sweet

Eunice Feller, Bread & Chocolate

Antonio Bettencourt, Sixty2 on Wharf
