Project GROWS, a non-profit educational farm located in Augusta County, will host its first-ever Celebration to benefit Project GROWS on Friday, Nov. 20 at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel in Downtown Staunton. The event will be held from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. and serves as an opportunity for the community to celebrate another exciting year connecting kids with healthy food and to support future food-access projects.
The evening will feature live music by Bourbon Barrel Congress, Nathan Moore as emcee, both a silent and live auction, and a three course meal featuring local produce from Project GROWS. This event is a great chance for people in the community to support the work of Project GROWS while having a great time eating local food,” Says Ryan Blosser, Executive Director of Project GROWS.
