The museum’s successful 18th Century Dinner in July inspired this new event that will feature a meal from the 1920s, a virtual annual update from the museum (its annual meeting for members, though participants do not have to be a member to take part in the event), and a 20th Century Virtual Concert (featuring one song per decade) from local musicians Monica Grabin and Dana Pearson.
All participants pick-up a boxed, full course 20th century dinner created by chef Bill Irish, of Wells, at the museum on Sept. 23 in the afternoon. The menu includes Caesar salad; fresh baked bread and butter; chicken a la king and pineapple upside-down cake, all popular recipes in 1925.
Meals can be taken home to enjoy while viewing the virtual presentation and concert. Tickets can be purchased at www.brickstoremuseum.org. Participants should purchase their meals by Sept. 18.
