Take Your Pick!

For this year's event, we're doing things a little differently. Booth placement will be determined by sign-up date -- early sign-ups get first choice for the location of their booth. So if you're planning to participate, let us know as soon as you can.

But not to worry -- it looks like we are going to have a gigantic tent that will cover the entire grassy area at the train station, so there will be plenty of room for everyone, plus table space for our guests.

Chefs & Farmers 2012: Taste the Adirondacks

Last year's Chefs & Farmers event was a big hit -- and this year's event is going to be bigger and even better. 

On September 8 (Saturday) regional chefs will prepare a tasting menu using food from local farms as their focus and inspiration. The event will take place 5-8 pm at the Saranac Lake Train Depot. We hope to see you there!

It was a great evening!

A good time was had by all at our first Chef's and Farmer's: Taste the Adirondacks! We hope you were there to enjoy the great food that our chef's created especially for the event. Everyone asked said the food was fabulous, and they hope it happens again next year. The Union Depot provided the perfect setting, with many people using the adjacent lawn area to eat, relax and visit.

A huge thank you from all of us at the Green Circle for your support and attendance. Biggest thanks to our Chef's and of course to our Farmer's for growing and creating the creative and tasty dishes last night.

This is what it's all about!

 

Having a good time!
