Area’s First Sugar on Snow Supper of the Season, in Guilford

Broad Brook Grange’s annual Sugar on Snow Supper will be held Saturday, March 7, at the Broad Brook Community Center in Guilford. The event is traditionally the area’s first sugar on snow supper each year.

The meal features ham, and the following homemade items: baked beans, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, rolls, donuts, and Guilford maple sugar on Guilford snow, plentiful this year! Pickles accompany the snow.

There will be three seatings: 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.

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.
