We'll come together to share food and stories, and build community we are all hungry for!About this EventShared Tables, Shared Stories: Potluck SupperYou are invited to join your neighbors at Pickering Square in Bangor on August 27 for a special evening of connection through the sharing of food, stories, and recipes. A Story Sharing Potluck Supper is an opportunity to engage with new and old friends and to connect with our neighbors. Bring a dish (with a story!) to share, an open mind and an open heart. During the dinner we'll share stories around the table. After dessert, you’ll be treated to live storytelling performances from a lineup of pre-selected storytellers — some may even be your neighbors!“Shared Tables, Shared Stories” invites people to convene in meaningful, place-based conversations about the past, present, and future of this place that we now call Maine. As the United States marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, there will be many ways to reflect on our shared history. Some will be large and ceremonial. Others, like this, will be quieter. A table. A meal. A conversation that begins with something as simple as passing a dish and asking, “Where are you from?” or “What should we remember?” And from there, something begins.Prior to the supper, you will receive a series of story prompts that we will use to share stories with each other during the meal. Bring your recipe to the event. We’ll be compiling recipes and stories from this series of seven suppers in different parts of the state into a community cookbook that all participants will receive to commemorate our evenings together and the community we create by breaking bread.Don't miss out on this chance to create lasting memories, forge new friendships, and support all Mainers, old and new. We look forward to sharing food and stories with you!This free event is organized and presented by:City of Bangor Community & Economic Development, Community Plate, Maine Arts Commission, Maine Humanities, and the Maine Semiquincentennial CommissionThis is a free event.
