"That Potato Dinner at the High School": Farmshed's Local Food Fair 2012

 

 

 

The locals like to call it "that potato dinner at the high school."  Farmshed's local food advocates like to call it the Local Food Fair and use it as their premier outreach event.

 

Either way, we want you to come join us for a free local potato dinner at Stevens Point Area High School (SPASH) on Thursday, February 16, 2012 from 5:30pm to 9pm. 

 

As always, the Local Food Fair also features deluxe toppings for $1, an information fair comprised of local farmers, authors, and businesses and an educational entertainment piece.  

 

 

Want to be an exhibitor? Half table is only $15; full is $30!  Sign up here: https://donationpay.org/farmshed/foodfair.php

 

Or maybe volunteering for the event is more your style.  Sign up here !

 

 

Special this year is a live cooking demonstration with award-winning chef, author, and restaurateur Michel Nischan of the Wholesome Wave Foundation.  Sponsors of the Local Food Fair will be treated to an easy to make, locally sourced meal that showcases how local food can be affordable.  The proceeds of their sponsorship will go to support Farmshed’s Double Value Program for EBT/FoodShare (food stamp) recipients at the Wisconsin Rapids and Stevens Point farmers’ markets, which helps to make local food affordable to those of low income.  This dinner will begin at 6:30pm and shown on a live feed in the auditorium for the Food Fair’s general audience.   Nischan’s keynote speech will take place in the auditorium at approximately 7pm.
