The DinnerThe July 27, 2015 dinner was held at The New Public House with doors opening at 6:30 pm and the dinner beginning at 7:00 pm. We're excited to say that the meal was nearly all locally-sourced!
The 4th SEAM Dinner was made possible due to the support of SEAM's many community partners. SEAM is a project of High Country Local First, which seeks to strengthen our community and local economy by supporting locally owned, independent businesses and farmers through education, promotion and networking. Partners also include Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture, which provided marketing support and volunteers for the dinner, as well as Appalachian State University's Transportation Insight Center for Entrepreneurship, which provided entrepreneurship-development expertise leading up to the dinner. SEAM could not have been possible without these great resources and partners! |
