The weather for our event was rain, wind and chilly temperatures. I have to admit we thought no one would show up. Early in the evening I ran outside and saw the tables filling up and became excited and inspired to see how many did brave the elements and come help us celebrate the restaurant’s anniversary.
I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who came early and helped us set up in the pouring rain. We couldn't have pulled it off.
Jeff, our intern, rounded up some fellow students to pitch in, my best friends Lee Ann and Micheal came from New Jersey to support us, Lee cooked all the pizza's and helped Tony on the grill, my Mom iced cupcakes, Charles Town Jr. Garden Club did all the beautiful floral arrangements, J&D Meats chickens rule, the Bread Guild from the Burr Farm baked and donated all the delicious bread, Bill's Tudor Hall Farm provided us all the squash and pumpkin for the soup, the sausage on the pizza and those yummy salad turnips and Rob from Claymont Farm grew the most tasty salad greens I have ever eaten!
All in all I felt our event was successful and well received.
We will plan another dinner for the spring and hopefully will attract new farms, rally more of the community to be involved and sell more tickets.
