September would have been a busy month for our ancestors as they harvested their crops, stored or preserved the grain, vegetables and fruit from their fields, gardens and orchards. They would have set aside the finest of the harvest for the celebration of Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hogmanay and the New Year that were all fast approaching. Dorothy Duncan will bring samples of some of those historic foods for those brave enough to try them.

The meeting takes place at the S. Walter Stewart Memorial Library at 170 Memorial Park Avenue at Durant Avenue at 7:30 pm, preceded by refreshments from 7 pm. Free admission. All are welcome.
