This Jazz Fest food vendor really stepped up to help others. The new Mid-City tavern Nikkei continues their story.

In addition to the vendor booths and special presentations, the Great Tastes Food Expo gave attendees a chance to sample dishes from more than 40 restaurants and eateries across Northwest Arkansas.

Once completed, the vendor booths can be rented to local farmers, specialty food manufacturers and craftspeople. Current rental rates for booths at farmers' markets are $75 to $125 per day.
