GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Hear Ye! Hear Ye, Lords and Ladies of the Valley. Gridley High School music program is presenting their annual fall fundraiser, An Evening in the Renaissance. The performers would like to invite you to dress in your finest period appropriate regal wear, or come as you wish, and enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the time period.
The GHS Band and Choirs will be performing new and traditional melodies. Solo and small group numbers will also present song, drama and dance.
Eileen Burke-Trent of Dragon Lea Farms is in charge of the menu for the evening and has chosen a fantastic meal to bring to the castle inspired by the late Mediterranean crusaders. The program will start after light harvest hors d’oeuvre. Then keftedes- meat patties spiced with mint and cinnamon in a wine and tomato sauce, jeweled rice pilaf, Greek salad, pita bread and homemade falafel are all sure to please. Dessert will be an almond poppy seed cake with an almond glaze. Eileen is known for her mastery of flavor and is sure to create a dining experience you don’t want to miss.
There will be a Market with harvest fruits, nuts, and vegetables. You will also find homemade jams, jellies, pies, desserts and treats for purchase.
Dates will be Friday November 15th at 6:30pm, castle doors open at 6pm and Saturday, November 16th at 5:30pm, castle doors open at 5pm.
