The Agricultural Society’s annual festival of meat, music and fun returns this month.
The 10th annual Meat Ball takes place on Saturday, March 21 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., featuring a buffet dinner by chef Charlie Granquist of Slough Farm highlighting Island-raised meat.
New this year is a contra dance with caller John Alden and music by the Flying Elbows and Friends.
The Agricultural Society purchases all meat from Island farmers to help them clear out their freezers in the off-season. Mr. Granquist and a team of dedicated volunteers make hundreds and hundreds of meatballs (plus sides and dessert) for everyone to enjoy. There will also be vegetarian and alpha-gal-friendly options available.
Everyone is asked to bring their own drinks, plates/bowls and silverware.
The community event is family friendly for all ages.
Tickets cost $40 for Agricultural Society members, $50 for non-members, and $10 for kids ages 5–12. Kids 4 and under are free. All funds raised will support the Agricultural Society.
