Soft-Serve
Ice Cream
So-serve ice

napkins.

good as eating them at the Dogwood Festival.
Falafel
Falafel are crispy deep-fried round balls made of ground
fava beans or ground chickpeas or both. ey look like
giant Southern hush puppies. ese flavorful, savory,
Middle Eastern bites are served by themselves or on a pita
with lettuce, tomatoes and a creamy tahini-based sauce. If
you have never tried falafel, the Dogwood Festival is the
