Foodies, gardeners, garlic- and tomato-lovers unite and head to the MSV for the Tomato & Garlic TasteFest! It’s FREE and it’s guaranteed to be fun! The day will include cooking demonstrations using tomatoes and garlic; tastes of freshly grown tomatoes and garlic; vendors selling garlic and tomato-related foods, gifts, and kitchen-gadgets; expert-led lectures about growing tomatoes and garlic; and contests for the largest tomato and clove of garlic grown in the Shenandoah Valley.
You’ll find garlic grown by Hanger Farm of Weyers Cave, Virginia, salsas by Woodstock’s Old Mountain Valley Farms, Tomato Basil Kitchen Soap from Maryland’s Cedar Ridge Soaps, special tomato cutlery, products from the Landreth Seed Company, fresh herbs from Middletown’s Sunflower Cottage, vegetables from West Virginia’s Master’s Touch Greenhouse, dried tomatoes and pickled garlic from L’Esprit de Campagne, dipping sauces from Farmhouse Gourmet of Raphine, Virginia, and more! Wine will be available for purchase by the glass, too! FREE lectures are scheduled for 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. In the morning, Sandy Hanger of Hanger Farm will present “Great Garlic,” and in the afternoon Barbara Melara, president and CEO of the oldest seed house in America, the Landreth Seed Company, will present “Tomatoes of the Past.” Cooking demonstrations are scheduled for 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2 p.m.

Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer
July 10- October 10, 2010
In 1956, Alfred Wertheimer photographed a young and relatively unknown Elvis Presley. Wertheimer’s images, taken before record-setting singles, broadcast specials, and hyped Hollywood films, reveal a rock ‘n’ roll legend on the verge of superstardom. Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer, a new Smithsonian traveling exhibition, presents 56 of these striking images. Elvis at 21 was developed collaboratively by the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and Govinda Gallery, and is sponsored nationally by History™.
