"Sappily Ever After"

North Yarmouth Community Center

Community Plate and Prince Memorial Library invite you to join us at Wescustogo Hall and Community Center in North Yarmouth for a special evening of connection through the sharing of food, stories, and recipes. A Story Sharing Potluck Supper is an opportunity to engage with new and old friends and to make connections around something we all have in common: the food we eat and our family food stories. Bring a dish (with a story!) to share, an open mind and an open heart. During the dinner we’ll be sharing stories around the table, and after dessert, you’ll be treated to a collection of live storytelling performances from practiced storytellers — some may even be your neighbors! Bring your recipe to the event, and afterwards we’ll be compiling the evening's recipes into a mini community cookbook that all attendees will receive to commemorate our evening together and the community we created.

March in Maine is maple syrup season, and our theme for this evening is “Sappily Ever After.” Bring a maple inspired dish or story! Prior to the supper, you will receive a series of story prompts that we will use to share stories during the supper. Don't miss out on this chance to create lasting memories and forge new friendships. We look forward to sharing food and stories with you!

Registration is limited and required for the story-sharing potluck event. Register via Community Plate's Eventbrite account. Register here.
