Posted

BETHANY, PA — Celebrating its 80th anniversary year, Bethany Public Library will host a fall farm-to-table dinner on Sunday, October 2 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Highlights Foundation’s conference center, known as The Barn at Boyds Mills, located at 392 Boyds Mills Rd.

Mike Stevens, host of WNEP-TV’s popular “On the Pennsylvania Road” series, will be the guest speaker. Renowned local chef Marcia Dunsmore will prepare a fall buffet menu featuring locally produced farm-fresh food. And finishing out the evening will be an auction, led by former radio personality Bob Mermell as auctioneer. Among the items to be auctioned will be a handmade quilt featuring the image of Bethany’s historic “Fireproof Building” (it was built in 1823), which houses the library, Bethany’s Borough Hall and the Bethany Historical Society.

Also being auctioned will be a signed limited-edition, hardbound copy of a novel by Dean Koontz, several dining opportunities at noted area restaurants and bed and breakfasts, a unique original sculpture by Jeff George, a signed print of an illustration by Lindsay Barrett George, a signed print by Upper Delaware nature photographer David B. Soete, and more.

Tickets cost $60. For more information, contact Bethany Public Library at 570/253-4349 or call Jane at 570/253-5711.
