Plimoth Plantation to Host Second Annual Sampe Fest on October 11 and 12, 2014

WHAT: Sampe is ground corn, much like grits, and was a dietary staple of both the Pilgrims and Native Wampanoag people. Plimoth Plantation will host Sampe Fest on October 11 and 12, 2014. Join us as we revel in all things corn with fall-themed activities and yummy corn-inspired dishes. Watch the Miller move the 2,200 pound stone, harness the power of the Town Brook and grind corn. Highlights include: Live music, crafts for kids, hands-on activities, delicious treats from local vendors including cider doughnuts and stuffed cornmeal flatbread sandwiches. Guests can even meet one of Plimoth Plantation’s rare breed goats.

WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, October 11 and 12, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 4 p.m.

WHERE: Plimoth Grist Mill, 6 Spring Lane, Plymouth, Massachusetts
