Tickets on Sale for Harvest Dinner

Tickets are now on sale for the harvest dinner and New Rangers performance at the Bremen Town House, Saturday, September 18, starting at 5 p.m.   The cost for the tickets, which includes both the dinner and the performance, is $10 for adults and $5 for children 8 or younger.

Because seating for the event is limited, tickets are being sold in advance. They may be purchased at the Bremen Town Office during regular business hours.  Also, members of the Conservation Commission have a few tickets to sell.  Dinner seating is on both floors of the Town House. 

The dinner will feature foods grown or produced in Bremen and adjoining towns. The menu includes a salad of fresh garden greens, vegetables and (optional) lobster; home-baked bread; ham; roasted potatoes; a vegetable medley of squash, onions and dried beans; and gingerbread lobsters, ice cream and apples for dessert. There will be door prizes and a raffle as well.

The Bremen Conservation Commission is sponsoring the dinner as a way of showcasing products from the town's working farms and waterfront, and to provide an evening of good food, fellowship and entertainment for Bremen residents, neighbors and friends.  Proceeds will benefit the town's Conservation Account.

The New Rangers feature Jim Nelson on guitar, bass and vocals; John Reny on guitar and vocals; John Riley on guitar, vocals and tambourine; and Peter Jackson on the Pedal Steel Guitar. All are very talented musicians, who know how to engage and please a crowd with a combination of acoustics and vocals. They play songs from yesteryear as well as current tunes. Some of the artists they cover are Bob Dylan, New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Byrds, The Band, John Prine, Grateful Dead, Steve Earl, and Slaid Cleaves (Cleaves is a former New Harbor resident). The New Rangers performance will follow the dinner at approximately 6:30 p.m. and will be on the first floor of the Town House.
