New food and drink vendors announced for Hootin an Hollarin

There are three new food and drink vendors who will attend this year’s Sept. 19-21 Hootin an  Hollarin festival on the square in Gainesville. 

Tin Lizzie’s Tonic Truck made its Hootin an Hollarin festival debut a few years ago and will return this year with its variety of fun and flavorful handcrafted sodas, coffee floats and other delicious drink options. The booth is outfitted to look like a quirky model T or “Tin Lizzy” truck, complete with a fun face on the front.

The Theodosia Area Volunteer Fire Department will utilize Theodosia Hometown Hardware’s ice cream trailer to dish up 10 flavors of hand-dipped ice cream, fresh from Central Dairy in Jefferson City. You’ll be able to enjoy the ice cream in your choice of a cup or cone. 

South Fork Lunch Box’s bright patriotic food truck will be hard to miss. The new Hootin an Hollarin vendor will be offering up hot southern breakfast items including an Ozark County favorite - biscuits and gravy! They’ll also have a variety of eggs, breakfast meats and biscuit options. 

For lunch, they’re offering hot Angus smash burgers made with fresh beef from the owners’ own farm. It doesn’t get more local than that! Burgers can be purchased on their own or in a combo meal with fries and a drink. There are a few other options including sandwiches, chicken tenders and more.
