The Uptown Shelby Association is collaborating with local chefs, farmers and business owners to host a farm-to-table dinner on the square in Shelby's Historic Uptown District. The dinner, called Seeds to Silverware, will be held on the evening of September 26th, at the City Pavilion in Uptown Shelby. The evening will begin with wine and locally brewed beer from Newgrass Brewery served alongside hors d'oeuvres made from ingredients collected from our local farmers. After that, a four course dinner highlighting each of the chef's skills and local ingredients will be served by volunteers. Throughout the evening, the guests will be entertained by local musicians from the band Yesterday. Proceeds from the dinner will benefit the Uptown Shelby Association and their effort to grow small businesses in the Historic District.
The menu for the evening highlights many of the wonderful ingredients that are currently at the peak of freshness in Western North Carolina. Tickets are on sale now for $75 a person. Seating is limited.

The Uptown Shelby Association operates the Main Street program in Shelby, N.C. It was one of the first five Main Street Associations in North Carolina and part of the pilot program launched by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1980. The organization receives no state funding, so events like Seeds to Silverware help fund its important work. Many thanks to all our sponsors, the City of Shelby, especially our Growing Sponsors, Gragg & Gragg and Fadales, Healthcare Foundation of Cleveland County and our anchor Harvest Sponsor, Shelby Dental Care Center. They make exciting events like this possible.
