Six festival attendees, dubbed Nature’s Pride “Bread Ambassadors,” will prepare live at the Tasting Pavilion their submitted original recipes using Nature’s Pride bread.
Additionally, the brand will be the presenting sponsor of the “Sunday Brunch” on Nov. 8, featuring such classic brunch favorites as French toast and egg sandwiches made with Nature’s Pride bread.
