“I haven’t used this location, but I wanted to be downtown close to the buses and to where anyone can come,” Winston said.

Her favorite part of hosting food truck festivals is giving local entrepreneurs the opportunity to get their name out there and make money.

“I love giving my community something fun to do,” Winston said. “I think being downtown will make it more special because it’s close to everyone.”

Courthouse Square is located at 23 N. Main St.
