Event Copy

Come enjoy a fine meal at the Canton of Bearwood's Pre-Hibernation Feast, and dance the night away at the Barony of Aquaterra's Day of Dance Ball - both at the same lovely site, the Garden City Grange in Snohomish.

Dinner will start at 6 pm. The Ball will follow the feast, from about 7:30 pm until closing at 11:00, and Aquaterra will also hold a dance practice starting at noon for you to learn or refresh many of the dances that will be danced at the Ball, in the same hall.

For dinner reservations, you may call the Bearwood autocrat, Alexis DeMarco and send payment of $12 (adults and teens) or $8 (5-12 yrs old) by November 1st to guarantee a seat at the feast.

The tentative menu is:

1st remove -- Red onion Fritata, Dumplings in Duck broth, Apricot and Plum Tart with Mascarpone 2nd remove -- Pork "Whales" on a bed of mashed Parsnips and Carrots, Field Greens with an Italian Dressing, Applesauce Cake with Whipped Cream 3rd remove -- Sliced Duck, Broiled Vegetables, Tuscan Fruitcake Beverages -- Appe juice, Lemon/Rose water, Sakanjabin

If you have an allergy, please notify the autocrat when making reservations, so that an alternative dish may be prepared. Reservations must be in to the autocrat by November 1st.

For the Ball, payment of the $8 (adult & teen) or $5 (5-12 yrs old) may be made at the door, or sent with your feast payment. As the events are concurrent with a single Gate, one Non-member surcharge will suffice to attend either or both.
