Magical Harvest Dinner

Bryce and I once again participated in the Harvest Dinner in Crawford County.  Last year the Farm to Table meal was served in a community room and while delightfully tasty it lacked ambiance.  This year it was held at Strawberry Lane, just North of Eastman (where we picked blueberries and raspberries earlier this year).  It was magical.  They totally marked off the ambiance box.  It reminded Bryce and I so much of our wedding.  It's amazing how many people hear that we got married in a barn and don't realize how beautiful that setting really is. 
The food was sinfully good.  Everyone was raving about the local squash and tilapia.  And there was much more food than that.  My friend Kathleen introduced us to her niece and her fiance who are going to UNI, but are both from Tennessee.  We were able to have a really good conversation with them throughout the night.  Kathleen's daughter, Ella and Greta, did a great job keeping Link entertained.  Link even snuck in a kiss for Greta when we left.  She's a 5th grader and wasn't sure what to think of that.
They even provided music from an older couple who I was a little worried about before they started, but they were very good and sang great, somewhat folksy songs that Bryce and I love.  Some people danced but no one felt obliged and everyone looked like they were having fun.
Gorgeous night.
