The Gathering at the River, a multi-cultural potluck will take place from six to eight tonight (Monday 9-16) at Spies Park. This is a chance for the community to come together and experience food from around the world. Some of the featured cuisine will be prepaired by new Fergus Falls residents from Afghanistan.
Organizers invite attendees to bring their own favorite ethnic food, everything from your grandma’s famous hot dish, to tamales, egg rolls, of fresh spring rolls.
Rebecca Peterson from West Central Initiative, said about the event, “There’s the great spiritual called, “Let us gather by the river.” I love it so, I just love the whole idea of people coming together in fellowship and camaraderie around food and music by the river. What could be better?”
