Come join in the fun at the 2nd annual Transition Town Charlotte Spud Fest. We'll gather at the Senior Center at 5 to cook and eat at 6:30 on Sunday, October 20.
The potatoes at the Charlotte Library are harvested and it's time to show off our favorite potato dishes. Do you have a special potato dish? Last year we were treated to potato latkes, potato soup, potato casseroles, and much more. If you want to round out the menu, feel free to bring something green, sweet, or something to drink (potato-based vodka is not allowed at the Senior Center, but if you have a recipe for it, bring that along). Maybe there's a potato dessert recipe hidden somewhere in your recipe file?
It would be fun to share music as well. Bring an instrument and your voices and serenade the cooks. Does anyone have a story to share about growing food? Let's make this occasion fun and festive.
This all began with the Transition US first "May Challenge" in 2012 to transform land owned by municipalities into healthy food production. Transition Town Charlotte took up the challenge, along with the Charlotte Library and planted its first potato garden. This year the garden was expanded to include tomatoes and green beans. Both last year and this, the produce was donated to the Charlotte Food Shelf (other than the tasty cherry tomatoes offered at the Library desk during the summer).
Do you have ideas for next year? Bring those ideas to the Spud Fest. Let's explore how we might continue to grow food on town-owned land, to share the harvest, and create opportunities to work together.
