It's back. Sterlingfest sets up camp for three days of food, music and fun. There's live music to enjoy; plus magic acts, juggling and clowining fun for the kids; dance acts; plenty of eats at Restaurant Row and at the vendors; and exhibitors will be selling their wares, including fabric/clothing, glass, jewelry, art, garden/sculpture, paintings/photography, sculpture/metal and more. And for those who love to ride, the midway will be open.
