Making Bao with Marcia at Crane House

Make Bao (Chinese pork BBQ buns) and Chinese soup with Marcia Liu at Crane House. Samples and recipes are included. You’ll learn to roll, fill, and shape the bao. Then we will steam them, after which, (the best part!) you’ll have a chance to taste your creation!

In order to provide the best instructional experience possible, space is limited. The event sold out last time, so sign up now to make sure you don’t miss this one! Sign up now on the Crane House Facebook Event Page.

Many of you know that our original Buy Local Fair (May 19), was cut short by high winds and sporadic rain. (Sincere thanks and appreciation for all of our members, volunteers and patrons who made it out that day!) After numerous conversations with the National Weather Service, we were hopeful the weather would pass us by, but alas! Mother Nature had other plans and we closed halfway through. Now we have unfinished business, and we want to make good!

Join us for a 3 hour event featuring what everyone comes for at the Fair: LOCAL BUSINESSES! We’ll be indoors this time in the Hall of Fame at Slugger Field.

* SHOP with a variety of local businesses – from handmade jewelry to furniture to clothing and much more.

Red Hog looks good

Two ficelle sandwiches at Red Hog.
Two ficelle sandwiches at Red Hog. Notice the empty space?
We checked out Red Hog for the first time today, and it looks like a winner, with locally produced meats good enough to turn a vegetarian into a carnivore … almost. The $8 sandwich featured city ham, house salami, Swiss, arugula, roasted tomatoes and mayo on a Blue Dog ficelle loaf. Good, but next time, we’ll just buy some meat, cheese and bread and take it home.
