Various demonstrations took stage along with live wrestling acts. Officials at the expo say an additional barn had to be added to the event to accommodate the growing number of people and vendors.

Jean Ellen Adams Gonzalez, who owns Henlopen Candles, was one of the vendors to bring her homemade products to the fairgrounds. Gonzalez says events like this bring a lot of much needed attention to her small business.
"It helps us a lot because being a small business, we don't have a lot of funds to advertise and a lot of people we know in our community, they want to, like, connect with local business owners. So being out and about in a marketplace is very helpful."
