Welcome to **A Farm to Table Feast: A fundraiser for the Zeeland Historical Society**!

 

Join us on Friday, August 29 at 6:00 p.m. at the charming New Groningen Schoolhouse. Enjoy a unique dining experience while supporting the preservation of Zeeland's rich history. Don't miss out on this opportunity to savor farm-fresh flavors and contribute to a good cause.

 

KJ Catering, West Michigan's Premier Caterer, will be providing a 3-course, family-style meal featuring regionally sourced food. Indulge in a delicious meal prepared with fresh ingredients sourced directly from local farms.

 

Local Wine and Beer will be available with one drink included with one ticket and the rest available by cash bar.

 

After dinner, Karen Dunham will be leading us in traditional contra dances! Don't worry if you don't know how-She will teach everyone there the dances.

 

This evening will include a unique exhibit on the history of farming in Zeeland with items not on display in the Cultivating West Michigan Exhibit.

 

A silent auction gives you the opportunity to further support the Zeeland Historical Society.
