The evening will include a buffet dinner prepared by Chef Jeremy Stultz, general manager and chef at the Bistro. Dinner will feature roast turkey, glazed ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, rolls and assorted pies. Wine will be available for purchase. Musical entertainment will be provided by Matt Wagner. There will be a silent auction as well as assorted gift card raffles, with proceeds benefitting the library.
