Nina and Bob, father/daughter duo
9:00 am - 10:30 am
Nina Luongo, a senior at JJHS, began singing before she could put sentences together. For her, "music is breathing." It is essential to her being. She is "just a teenage girl" who, when she picks up a guitar or sits down at her keyboard - "suddenly everything becomes clear".
Bob Gulian paid his musical dues performing for 15 years in clubs in NYC, Boston, LA and Paris. He has continued singing, writing and recording while raising three children and is newly inspired playing and singing with his daughter.
Together Bob's and Nina's voices organically blend, interweaving melodies and harmonies that have magical qualities, leaving listeners wanting more.

FEATURED VENDORS  Truck Restaurant Owner: Nancy Roper TRUCK is a casual, neighborhood restaurant in Bedford, NY, making wholesome meals in an atmosphere with a comfortable, vintage feel that is reminiscent of simpler times. The name "TRUCK," denotes the respect we have for the hard-working truck farms that produce and transport great food to our table. The fare at TRUCK is inspired by the down-home cooking traditions of Northern New Mexico where the food has been influenced by Cowboy, Native American and Mexican cultures. The menu features tacos, enchiladas and signature salads made with local grass-fed beef, sustainably raised pork and vegetables straight from local farms whenever possible. A meal at TRUCK is not complete without the "Power Wagon," the house margarita made with top quality, 100% agave tequila, fresh-squeezed lime and all-natural triple sec. TRUCK's goal is to be a community gathering spot, providing consistently good quality wholesome, healthy meals and great service. For more information, please visit: 
Conant Valley Jams
Owner: Margery Schiffman
In the 90's, Margery was living in the Napa Valley and commuting to work in New York. A longtime cook, Ms. Schiffman studied Chinese cooking in Taiwan and was known in both New York and Napa Valley for her dinner parties and handmade jams. One day a friend dropped off a few flats of late harvest Cabernet, which Margery quickly turned into a vintage dated Cab Jam. She brought a few jars to a local shop, who sold them out instantly and a new business was born! Low production, careful hand preparation and just enough sugar for the jam to gel has led to products that are remarkable for their clarity of taste and intensity of flavor. Ten years later, Ms. Schiffman moved to Pound Ridge and continued what has become a lifelong search for unusual local fruit to Jamify. Today you just might find her on the back roads of Upper Westchester picking wild raspberries or wild ramps for her famous pesto sauce.
