Event Details:

Guests will toast the hard work of their favorite farmers with a hearty locally grown supper, and then continue the celebration with live music and dancing. Music will be provided again this year by Sean Smith, with musical accomplices Janine Sirignano and Peter Buchak. Contra caller David Titus returns to lead us in dances that new and experienced dancers will enjoy.

Dinner will feature several different preparations of locally raised pork from Austin Brothers Valley Farm, vendors at the Central Square Farmers Market in Cambridge.

Chef Bob Sargent of flora restaurant is once again generously donating his time to create mouth-watering pork dishes as well as hearty sides to accompany them. There should be plenty of food for hungry vegetarians as well!

Guests will also enjoy a silent auction with prizes donated by local businesses.

Libations will be available at the Dante Alighieri Center's cash bar.
