Pine River Community Garden Club will hold the third annual Zucchini Extravaganza from noon to 3 p.m. Sept. 10 at Pine River Library, 395 Bayfield Center Drive.
Attendees are encouraged to bring recipes and a zucchini or squash dish to share, but no pumpkins are allowed.
“They get their own holiday, and we’re focusing on the less-popular squash,” said Darcy Poletti Harp, Pine River librarian. The event will feature zucchini, crooked neck, butternut, acorn and other squash varieties.
Free food from Baked, a cooking demo, free samples from Strater Hotel’s Chef Safari, live music by Agave, activities for children, a raffle and contests, including ugliest, largest and best-dressed zucchini, will also be included.
The event is free and open to all.
Nonperishable food items can be donated during the festival to the Pine River Shares food drive.
For more information, call Darcy at 884-2222, ext. 522.
