Summary
At its June 9 special meeting the Sterling Agricultural Commission discussed Farm to Table planning, considered brisket as the meat choice, noted Sept. 19 or 26 as possible dates, and tasked Rebecca Gervais with contacting Family Tradition BBQ; mock tickets were requested for the August meeting.
The Sterling Agricultural Commission moved forward with planning for a Farm to Table event during its June 9 special meeting, discussing vendor options, tentative dates and near-term preparation tasks.
Katie Patton, a commission member, said she had reached out to Chris Kelley to arrange meat preparation but that he is unavailable. The minutes record that brisket was the preferred meat choice depending on outside assistance. Patton provided contact information for Family Tradition BBQ; Rebecca Gervais said she will contact that vendor. The Commission discussed two potential dates, Sept. 19 and Sept. 26, and emphasized that time is of the essence to secure a cook. The minutes directed that mock tickets be ready for the August meeting for further planning.
The commission also addressed meeting scheduling and community outreach: Patton stated she cannot attend Thursday meetings and Jack Joslyn said he would check whether the first Tuesday of the month is available, with a goal of meeting on Aug. 4. For Family Day, Joslyn will staff the commission table; the commission requested that reminder flyers be sent home from SCS (abbreviation not expanded in the minutes) and that a reminder be posted on the Town's Board. No formal vendor contract or final date was recorded in these minutes.
