Mardi Gras Event at the United Church of Northfield- Say Whaaaat!!!

Join us for a Mardi Gras feast to benefit the United Church of Northfield, 58 So. Main St., Northfield, Vermont, March 9, 2019, 5:30- 7:00 PM.

Mardi is the French word for Tuesday, and gras means "fat." In France, the day before Ash Wednesday came to be known as Mardi Gras, or "Fat Tuesday."
Traditionally, in the days leading up to Lent, merrymakers would binge on all the rich, fatty foods—meat, eggs, milk, lard, cheese—that remained in their homes, in anticipation of several weeks of eating only fish and different types of fasting.

So loosen your belts! Join us for this home cooked menu:

Gumbo (Louisiana stew featuring the "Holy Trinity" of vegetables-celery, bell pepper, onions)
Jambalaya-chicken, sausage and vegetarian
Rice and Beans
Cornbread
King Cakes
Bread Pudding
Beverages (coffee, tea, water)

All for $12.00. Take-out available. For more details contact Karen at 485-8335.
