The doors will open at 6:30PM with a complimentary dessert bar, coffee, and tea, with beer and wine will be available for purchase. The lecture will be followed by a question & answer session with the audience. This is free and open to the public, but of course donations will be accepted to help further fund the granary restoration project.
