Brunch, Lunch & Supper Club

Join us for an evening of food, drink, music and fun, supporting Conestee Nature Preserve! Signing up on this Meetup does not reserve your spot. You must purchase your ticket on this link: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/conesteenaturepreserve/1175424
The setting couldn't be more idyllic for the third annual signature event at the Preserve, wandering the scenic meadow and enjoying local food, local drinks, local music, and offerings from local artisans. As evening begins to fall, you'll partake in a thoughtfully curated dinner and peruse a silent auction offering dozens of experiences, original artwork and other unique items. Following dinner, you'll sit around a warm fire enjoying drinks and dessert, as the sounds of spring come to life!
And, on top of that, ALL proceeds benefit Conestee Nature Preserve's mission to provide important opportunities for meaningful connection, discovery, and education in nature.

• Open beer and wine bar.
• Samples and experiences from a dozen local vendors.
