Tickets on Sale Soon: 7th Annual Harvest Dinner!

Saturday September 25th, 2021

​

Our annual Harvest Dinner is back in action, and we could not be more excited. Throughout all of the hurdles that we've faced over the past year, we are reminded that what hasn't changed is our love of food and the critical role it plays in our community. FOOD is a community connector. It is the connection to our earth, our neighbors, and our farmers. This year's Harvest Dinner is a celebration of the local food that bonds us together! Join us as we celebrate our food over a shared meal prepared by 4 wonderful local chefs that will be announced at a later date.
