Treat yourself to a special evening that showcases the flavor and freshness of delicious, local foods artfully prepared by Scott Crawford, Herons' award-winning executive chef! FRESH, A Celebration of Local Harvest will be held Friday, May 21 from 6-8 PM at the Umstead Hotel & Spa, and proceeds will benefit the Western Wake Farmers' Market's education and hunger prevention initiatives.
Mark your calendars because we know you won't want to miss this event. Tickets are available for sale online and at the Market starting this weekend. What does your ticket buy at the standing reception?
- Cocktails, wine and beer
- Hors d'oeuvres
- Carving station
- Specialty cheese and bread display
- Seafood presentation
- Assortment of desserts with seasonal fruit
Plus you will enjoy great music from guitarist and songwriter Michael George Gonzalez and time to visit with farmers and artisans from the market who will provide their local foods for the event.
Come talk with the farmers and find out why they farm the way they do and why they take the time to bring their foods to Western Wake County for us. The market is open 34 Saturdays this year, and most of our vendors will come to Cary each week with the freshly-picked ripe produce, their meats, fresh fish and shellfish from NC waters, eggs, artisan cheeses, breads, desserts, wine, coffee and much more. Spend time with them and find out what they are all about!
We will also hold a silent auction during the evening. Many businesses in our community already have donated fantastic products and services, such as salon packages, jewelry, pottery, beer home-brewing equipment and much more. If you would like to donate an item or service to the auction, please contact Lisa Flanagan. All donations are tax-deductible.
We're looking forward to seeing you at FRESH, A Celebration of Local Harvest!
