Friday nights full moon dinner was one for the books. What a magical night and the full moon came out in full view for us.
Guests toured the Boalsburg Heritage Museum and had the exclusive opportunity to get a sneak peak at what I’ve been working on with the David Boal Tavern.
As always thank you to the local farmers who inspired the end of summer menu. And thanks to all who attended ✨

Then we will settle under the Harvest Full Moon for a memorable seasonal dinner celebrating Centre County’s local farmers.
As an added treat, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a special tour of the historic Boal Tavern, offering a fascinating glimpse into Boalsburg’s rich past.
Come celebrate the harvest, local food, history, and the beauty of autumn under the full moon. Hope to see you there!
