Guilford Sugar on Snow Supper

Broad Brook Grange’s annual Sugar on Snow Supper will be held Saturday, February 22, at the Broad Brook Community Center in Guilford. This year’s event is a week earlier than usual, due to the move of Town Meeting to the traditional day for the supper.

The meal features ham, pickles, and the following homemade items: baked beans, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, rolls, donuts, and Guilford maple sugar on Guilford snow.

There will be three seatings (note the new times, giving each seating a bit more leisure!): at 4:30, 5:45 and 7:00 pm. At each seating, a half-gallon of Guilford maple syrup will be raffled.

This longtime annual fundraiser helps support the many activities of the Grange, which sponsors pre-town meeting, a community Thanksgiving dinner, this supper, and brunches, as well as Guilford Center Stage productions. The Grange organization also provides Christmas stockings for seniors and a college scholarship. Volunteer help for the supper is welcome.

Tickets for the supper are: $15 for adults; $5 for children ages 5-12, and $2 for kids age 4 and under. Reservations for a particular seating are recommended, as the earlier seatings often sell out out in advance. A waiting list will also be kept, and those with reservations who cannot make it are asked to phone their cancellation. There are usually a few unreserved seats left for the 7 pm seating, for those who show up without a reservation. Reservations made be made by the preferred method of e-mailing Thayer at: thayertomlinson@hotmail.com ; you’ll get a confirmation reply. Or you may text to 202-247-5251, or voice phone if you need more help.

The Community Center is fully ADA-accessible, and is at 3940 Guilford Center Road, four miles west of the Guilford Country Store.
