NORFOLK, NEBRASKA – Local food trucks will dish out a rumble as part of ‘Fork Fest Open Air Festival from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Friday, July 20, at Third and Norfolk Ave., by the Johnny Carson Mural in downtown Norfolk. This is the third annual event.
Last year, several trucks competed for the top prize. Each food truck is an individual small business from the Norfolk area. Some of those businesses have worked with the Center for Rural Affairs.
“The opportunity to provide exposure for the food trucks made this event extremely attractive,” said Veronica Spindola, Latino loan specialist with the Center. “From Mexican food to barbecue, these trucks are the best secret in this community.”
Participating food trucks include Luna’s Coffee Shop, Mi Chapita, Rhonda’s Smoke-n-BBQ, Shaved Ice, Taqueria Gonzales, Taylormade Catering, Tu Casa, Uncle Jarrol’s, and J-Dawgs Hot Dog Stand.
Tickets will be available for pre-sale as well as onsite the day of the event. With a ticket, people can sample from each truck, then vote on their favorite cuisine. Regular-sized dishes will be available at an additional cost at the end of the night.
“Last year, people had a great attitude about the event,” said Spindola. “People wanted to have a great experience, and we were able to provide an event that was fun in this community.”
‘Fork Fest Open Air Festival will include small business sales, cruising, and music – Norfolk’s part of Rabble Mill’s Good Living Tour.
