Be a part of the celebration and support your local museum! The Greater Vernon Museum & Archives (GVMA) will host Celebrate the Valley: Farm to Table Dinner Thursday May 10th from 6pm to 9pm, as the wrap up event to our featured travelling exhibition "The Social Life of Water." Director/Curator Tracy Satin explains, "as part of our Celebrate and Learn Series, we thought that having a meal celebrating the bounty that is produced in our area would be a great way of highlighting home grown food and beverages sourced within the Okanagan Watershed." Partnering with Education Coordinator Gabriel Newman, the two have worked tirelessly to bring this event to fruition. All of the menu features are locally sourced, sustainably grown and ethically harvested. The thoughtful cuisine will be prepared by Basket Case Picnics and Catering, boasting a reputation for delectable regional cuisine. A special thanks to local producers who have donated so generously; Rosebank Farms, Bella Stella Cheese, Okanagan Grown Produce Ltd, Armstrong Asparagus Farm, the Vernon Farmers Market, Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery and The BX Press Cidery & Orchard, amongst others.

Dinner guests will begin the evening inside the museum for an intimate cocktail hour with a signature beverage paired with a sampling of appetizers. Guests will have the opportunity to mingle and view the "The Social Life of Water" exhibit, while enjoying  live background jazz music. Following the cocktail hour,  guests will make their way outside. Here they will be seated at long charmingly decorated tables to enjoy a delicious three course, family-style meal amongst the beautifully landscaped Spirit Square. Soft acoustic music will play in the background and complete the evening.

Your $75 ticket includes a one-of-a-kind dining experience, a sumptuous regional meal, and a selection of cocktails, wine and cider provided by local producers, in addition to live music. Limited seating is available. Tickets can be purchased at the museum or by phone, prior to May 3rd.  We regret that tickets will not be available after that date or at the door. For more information on this 19+ event call 250-542-3142, visit www.vernonmuseum.ca<http://www.vernonmuseum.ca> or find us on Facebook.

We are delighted to announce the evening is made possible by our sponsor Basket Case Picnics and Catering.
