2011 Dinner at Doe Creek
Third Annual Prairie Dinner and Concert
October 1, 2011
 
The third annual Prairie Dinner and Concert begins at 3 p.m., Saturday, October 1, with a farm tour. You can see the gardens, meet the animals, tour the strawbale and mud hermitage we built.

At 5, we'll gather again alongside Doe Creek for one of Slow Food Chef
Kamala Gamble's sumptuous local food dinners. It will be a five-course meal featuring Oklahoma's naturally-grown foods.

Kyle Dillingham will dazzle us again with his singing and fiddle and violin concert in the roundtop barn.

Turtle Rock Farm is about an hour north of Edmond off I-35. We will send directions when we receive your registration.

Dinner at Doe Creek




Green Connections' First Annual Prairie Dinner and Concert was more than we ever imagined it to be. Again and again we are stunned by what happens when we take the time to spend time in the natural world: the natural world gifts us (on that particular evening, with a yellow and pink sky as the sun went out of view.)
  Again and again we are stunned by what happens when friends gather at table and eat healthy food grown in ways that are good for Earth: we are nourished deeply.
  Again and again we are stunned at how much fun we can have together doing the simple things, like taking a walk in the country or listening to music: our souls are healed.
  New to us was the experience of joining people all around the globe making the same statement: "We are willing to do what needs to be done for a healthy planet." We realize our connectedness and the power of grass-roots movements.
  And so it was that wonderful Saturday night in late October when we gathered alongside Doe Creek for local food, then walked up the road to the round-top barn for a rousing and moving concert.
  Our gratitude to Kamala Gamble, Kyle Dillingham, Woods and Waters Wines, volunteers and Green Connections board members for helping create such a wonderful evening. And a special thank you to all those who came to the dinner. Proceeds from this event will go towards achieving our dream of a straw-bale-constructed retreat center. If you want to contribute towards that effort, see below.
