That afternoon, there were many events to attend, such as a cornhole tournament, food and drink vendors, downtown shopping, bread baking contest and more! The afternoon also included the “Liverpool Legends” (Ultimate Beatles Tribute Band) performing at the PAC, as well as a Sliced Bread Birthday Bash at the Sliced Bread Innovation Center.
