“We are very excited about the Honey Festival this year and the addition of the mead garden. In the past we have had mead samples but now guests can purchase a glass to enjoy at the event. The interest in honey is incredible and there are new varieties and infusions each year to taste and learn about. Additionally, it is a fun family event that highlights many local beekeepers and supports local small businesses.” said Kerry Helke, Senior Recreation Coordinator for the City of Loveland’s Parks & Recreation Department.
