Is there an opportunity to purchase persimmon pudding at this festival or to taste the persimmon pudding of the contestants?
Bret, There will be several local vendors that supply persimmon pudding by the piece, 1/2 or whole puddings. As for the to taste the puddings of the contestants would not be possible as they bring one piece in to be judged, not the whole pudding. Unless you know someone who is entering that could save you a piece.

Do you rent spaces for independent food vendors or is the event closed to just the local organizations sponsored dinners?
Doug,
Yes we have spaces available for food trucks. As of right now there are no openings. The
food tent is only non-profits. Thanks! Suzanne Patton
Would you e-mail me the dates for the 2020 Persimmon Festival so I can put it in my planner. I am assuming persimmon trees will be available for purchase.

Hi Larry!
The dates for the 2020 Festival are September 19-26, 2020. I’m not sure about persimmon trees.
Please call the Chamber office at 812-849-4441 to find out if they will be available. There were
no trees sold last year. Have a great day!
Suzanne Patton
