I lifted this off a calendar I recieve that many of you may recieve-- The Progressive Issues List.
Anyway, I thought folks would find this an interesting option for lunch today!!! (No idea if strictly vegan options are available or not at this event) David Strand Loring Park ------------------------------------------------- Mahnomen Days Feast 9.30 11:30am Each year employees at American Indian Community Development Corporation works to provide toys, clothing, and other Christmas gifts for the Little Earth children and young people who for some reason are not served by Toys for Tots. The program is called "Partners for Kids". Last year those employees contributed themselves or raised over $20,000 dollars for the program. The kick off for the drive is a feast to celebrate the harvesting of wild rice or Mahnomen. AICDC employees work and cook for a week to prepare the event and feast. The event will have demonstrations of preparing and roasting the wild rice, but the best part is the eating. (The part I am particularly talented at, and the reason I might say the word "FOOD" several times.) The fund raising feast costs a $10.00 tax deductible donation for the "Partners for Kids", but features door prizes, entertainment, and great food. The menu includes roasted venison, buffalo (bison), beef, turkey, pork, wild rice meatloaf, served with desert, and vegetables too numerous to list, as well as about ten different wild rice dishes. I probably am leaving something out. GREAT FOOD!!! Mahnomen Days Feast Friday from 11:30am-1:30pm (don't come too late or you might miss the buffalo) AICDC building at 2020 Bloomington Avenue South, Minneapolis Eat and contribute to kids. It's food for the soul and the stomach! __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
