Yesterdays Takes Center Stage in 2010 Black Dirt Feast

The Pine Island Black Dirt Region

Outstanding Program and a Superb Five-Course Feast to

Benefit the Pine Island Community

The Second Annual Black Dirt Feast to be held on July 27, 2010, is an al fresco fund-raiser organized by the Pine Island Chamber of Commerce. Some of the most distinguished chefs in the Warwick Valley joined forces to collaborate on a multi-course sit-down dinner in the fields of Pine Island, at Scheuermann Farm.

Beverages will include award-winning hard cider from the Warwick Valley Winery, wines from local merchants, Peck’s Wines & Spirits and Pine Island Wine & Liquors. In addition there will be entertainment during the cocktail hour by the Warwick Valley Chorale and the Skye Jazz Trio during dinner.

Table decorations, displaying flowers arranged by Sally Scheuermann from her nearby gardens on the Scheuermann Farms & Nurseries property, will be unique, hand-crafted pottery from two local potters, Judy Duboff and Dr. Deb Bernstein, who have been working together molding the clay, firing, and glazing the vases.
