Whether you’re wrapping up a full day of Pre-Conference sessions or arriving early for the main conference activities, the Thursday Winter Picnic is the perfect dinner solution!

We’ll start you out with a satisfying hors d’oeuvre reception that includes our popular cheese tasting featuring regional cheese makers. Next, the beautiful Winter Picnic will highlight the best of regional and organic fare — it has become one of the favorite meals of the conference. Treat yourself to our picnic buffet featuring five entrees, a slew of fantastic vegetable sides and salads, and many tantalizing desserts. A feast fit for both meat-lovers and vegetarians! Buffet tickets are $32 for adults and $15 for kids 12 and under.

Save room for live music and entertainment following the Winter Picnic. We will delight in the music of Adrienne Young and her band. This musical event is open to all conference attendees, no ticket necessary.
