The 4th Annual Slow Food Fall Picnic is a truly unique celebration of the Slow Food traditions. The picnic promises to be an incredible celebration of Oklahoma ’s food traditions as well as a great place to enjoy friends, family and fellow Slow Fooders and people who care about eating well and local! Last year we had over 450 guests in attendance - and would expect a similar number to attend this year. For those of you who have been – you know it’s an event not to be missed. For those of you who have not yet attended – join us and you won’t be disappointed.
The Fall Picnic will be held on the gorgeous 9-acre grounds of the Harn Homestead.
Food will be prepared by some of the top Oklahoma chefs using the finest local ingredients. The menu will be sure to be delicious and will be a gourmet twist on traditional picnic concepts. Krebs Brewery has graciously offered to provide Choc Beer and we will also serve great wines as well as water and other refreshments. Prairie Thunder Bakery's breads will be featured.
We plan to have a full slate of Oklahoma food producers who will be available to speak with our guests about the foods they produce. We will also be on hand to speak with guests about the benefits of joining Slow Food OKC – including upcoming “members only” events.
There will be live music by Buck Goucher and outdoor seating under the trees on the grounds of this original homestead. We will host old fashioned picnic activities for families such as croquet, horseshoes and sack races. For the little ones we will have a petting zoo, pony rides and an amazing face painter as well as art activities led by local artist and Slow Food member Elia Woods based on the Play with your Food book series.
We promise something for everyone and hope to have perfect weather like we had last year, so come and bring friends and family! This is a “rain or shine” event!
Tickets are $25 per person – all inclusive – if purchased by September 29th (or $30/person if purchased after that date) – check or paypal in advance. We ask you to please reserve early - we try to offer as much locally produced food as possible, which means we can't just run over to the store to buy the picnic foods. Children 12 and under are free.
To reserve contact Slow Food OKC at slowfoodokc@yahoo.com or call Cristina at 524-1554. For paypal payments go to www.paypal.com and select “send money” and send to our email address slowfoodokc@yahoo.com. We are updating out website with more information Slow Food OKC (http://www.slowfoodokc.com)
