While there are fewer events this weekend than past weeks, perfect weather should enhance two events combining food and live music.
West Cape May Lima Bean Festival will take place Sat., Oct. 8 in Wilbraham Park in West Cape May.
This is an all day event from 9-5 p.m. featuring everything lima! Lima bean t-shirts, lima bean chili, lima bean taco soup, lima bean jewelry, lima bean stained glass, lima bean birdhouses, lima bean pottery and this year a special treat, lima bean ice cream from Bliss of Cape May. And of course fresh lima beans! Almost 100 vendors will also sell barbeque, crab cakes, smoothies, flowers, produce, collectibles, antiques and art.
Entertainment is by Bluebone and Robin Hippel and Amy Hufana. The 2011 Lima Bean King and Queen will be crowned at 3 p.m.
West Cape May was once the lima bean capital of the world and this autumn tradition of celebrating the lima bean harvest has turned into a much loved quirky community event. For more information call Diane Flanegan at 609-884-9325.
