Last year, the Pine Island Chamber of Commerce chose to pause on the Black Dirt Feast because of the pandemic.
The Black Dirt Feast, after more than 10 years, had come to personify farm-to-table excellence using the best of the area’s local products, with the best of local restaurateurs, to create a unique event unequalled in the region.
Again, this year, we are pausing the Black Dirt Feast and waiting until we can return to the standards of excellence that our sponsors, our chefs and, most particularly, our guests, have come to expect and demand.
The Party at Glenwood Green at 580 Glenwood Road in Pine Island on Tuesday, Aug. 10, from 6 to 9 p.m., will be an elegant picnic-style event with assigned seating at tables of choice and pre-presented courses for guests to pick up at designated stations. Wine, beer and a signature cocktail will be available at bar stations, along with water, soft drinks and lemonade.
As before, proceeds will replenish the Black Dirt Scholarship Fund which makes possible three $1,500 scholarships to local high school seniors and college students.
