We know, we know… you really don’t want to start thinking about fall… but we just couldn’t wait to tell you: Valley Grange and Penquis are teaming up for another great supper with a great cause! We had too much fun and success with the Italian Buffet not to do something again. As one of the Penquis Volunteers said when we settled on a date, “Yippie Skippie!”
Mark your calendar and save the date: Saturday, October 22nd. We’ll be serving from 5 PM until 7 PM (or until the food runs out).
And wait until you see the menu… Sheree Brown and her volunteers are planning to top the last “Italian Buffet” and are hoping to feature some “locavore” products from farms and gardens in the area with a traditional harvest feast. (Farmers and gardeners are invited to gain some reconition by donating needed items. An email to grange@boomsmaonline.com or sabrown@penquis.org will get you a list of opportunities.)
Once again, we’re offering this dinner at a price that can’t be beat even by the fast food joints! You can dine fine for a minimum donation of $6 for adults, $3 for kids 5-12 and under five eat free!
And if you’re not ready to think about fall, you surely won’t want to think about the fact that the dinner will benefit the Piscataquis Santa Project. But the reality is the falling leaves will eventually turn to falling snow… and there are going to be a lot of families in the area who will need some help this year.
Yippie Skippie and Ho,Ho, Ho!
