MONROE - Come celebrate summer gardening bounty with the second of a three-part series of free community picnics on Wednesday, July 15, starting at 5:30 p.m. on the lawn of the Monroe Arts Center. Thanks to a grant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council, Green County UW Extension will be leading "Stirring the Pot: Dialogue, Discussion and Dinner in the Dairyland." Discussion will focus on the theme "Abundance - and Emptiness - of Summer," prompting discussion around how Green County residents can strategically tap into the local food abundance this time of year to help those in need.
The July 15 event will kick-off with demonstrations by Blackhawk Technical College's Chef Kate Thomas, who will be demonstrating Summer Fruit Salad with Balsamic Vinegar Reduction and Misty Meadows Open-face Sandwich showcasing local Green County raised and produced items. Representative Brett Davis will also be a guest chef.
