Sarah Howell, musician will perform
Jonathan Blackley, Chef with Herons Restaurant will show off his culinary skills using fresh seasonal produce and meat from our market.
“I believe that sharing a meal is the oldest and best way to invoke a positive and fulfilling moment in the human existence. I am a strong advocate for buying and eating seasonally. The best way to do so is buying locally. America has the best farmers in the world. In this day in age it is important to support those who feed our families and the less fortunate. My history in the field has been substantial. I have cooked professionally for thirteen years. Starting in middle school up until now the restaurant business has been my business. I have held positions ranging from dishwasher to waiter to executive chef. I have found no other profession that I would rather pursue. I am a graduate of the Cape Fear community college program in Wilmington NC. I believe that in this field, as any other, you get what you give. Meaning the sky is the limit if you are dedicated to your craft. I have a passion for cooking and sharing my food with all. There truly is no bigger rush (perhaps playing music to a crowd) i get than seeing the enjoyment on the faces of those who have enjoyed a great experience…”
