Frequently Asked Quizzical Queries:
What happened to the Tour des Farms? Fear not! If you're looking for the 2010 Tour des Farms, yes, it is happening, but not the same weekend as the Festival. The Tour des Farms is Sunday, August 1, 2010. We moved the date because we got so much feedback that it was hard for our cyclists to participate in everything-- the Green Expo, the Tour and the Festival.
