The April Flavours Gala Dinner & Auction will take place on April 30th at 6 pm at the Louis Millet Community Complex in New Minas. The sit-down dinner is being arranged by the April Flavours Committee and Executive Chef Jake Wright and many local Chefs will be preparing delicious food for the guests.
The event is presented by Friends of Agriculture in Nova Scotia (FANS) as a fundraiser to support the educational activities of local agricultural organizations. FANS promotes farmers and food producers and chefs who are contributing to Healthy fields, farms and food for the people and communities of Nova Scotia now and in the future.
Cocktail Hour
The evening will begin with a cocktail hour and viewing of more than $8,000 worth of fabulous new live and silent auction items including tours, accommodations, dinners, lawn mowers, home décor and many 75 additional items. Guests can use their complimentary drink ticket to sample local wine, beer and other beverages at the Lion’s Club bar while enjoying finger food appetizers created by local providers featuring local ingredients.
Menu
The dinner will start with our signature “April Flavours Salad” created by Sue Carroll of Paddy’s Pub. It is a blend of local seasonal greens, mushrooms, cheese, nuts and berries with a dressing featuring locally made oils, vinegars, and herbs. The main course will consist of Meadowbrook Honey Ham, a medley of local roasted root vegetables and other local foods. On each table will be a selection of fresh local tomatoes, cucumbers, preserves and local breads. The dessert buffet will feature more delicacies and Just Us! coffee and tea will be served.
During dessert people will want to check on their silent auction bids, and a live auction of many items will bring the evening to a close.
