THE PROMPT: ‘Food, Glorious Food!’ Oh food! Wonderful food! Marvelous food! Glorious food! Let’s be real for a minute: we all love food. Sometimes it’s a love/hate relationship, but without food, we’d just… die. For better or worse, food has us in its thrall. Join Wandering Aesthetics with emcee Dana Norris (Story Club Cleveland) to share stories about “Food, Glorious Food!” …Even if the stories aren’t so glorious. Prompt inspired by submission from: Beth Knorr, Director of Summit Food Coalition November’s Full Circle event is being presented in partnership with Countryside Conservancy and Summit Food Coalition. As part of this collaboration, Jilly’s Music Room will serve a delicious specialty cocktail inspired by local ingredients. Additionally, the evening will feature a “recipe swap”– a Full Circle variation of Countryside’s monthly “Local Food Swap” events. Anyone can participate by bringing two copies of a favorite recipe. FULL CIRCLE STORYTELLING MISSION STATEMENT Full Circle is a successful monthly storytelling event open to the community. Telling their own true tales, Akronites place themselves at the center of their own life journeys. We use the art of narrative to ignite understanding between diverse peoples, building bridges– not walls– within our community.’ SUMMIT FOOD COALITION MISSION STATEMENT Summit Food Coalition works to improve access to healthy food for all Summit County residents, and spur economic opportunities for farmers and food entrepreneurs.
