The Bovina Library Farm Feast went off with only a slight glitch last night. Close to 200 people gathered to sample local farm's beef, goat, chicken, lamb, and pig and local produce prepared by a group of amazing volunteer cooks. The food was absolutely delicious. Beef Stew, Ribs, Barbecued Lamb, Pig, Goat, Goat Sausage, Sauerbraten, Meatloaf, Roasted Turkey and Chicken, along with a large assortment of sides and deserts. We actually got to eat this year compared to last year - and it was really good food. Locals and weekenders gathered in John LaFever's machinery barn which was decorated for the holiday with a local tree farm donating beautiful Christmas trees that surrounded the perimeter of the hall like an inside forest. The dinner had to be held in a larger venue instead of the town community center because of the number of people that attended last year. Diners ate by candlelight and listened to Christmas music and holiday bell ringing led by Monica Liddle. Marjorie Miller and Ray Lafever auctioned off the Christmas trees and a raffle with all proceeds benefitting the Bovina Public Library. Many thanks to all the people who volunteered to make this event a success. The only glitch was that we lost our electric power at one moment with no one knowing where the fusebox was located in this massive garage space. We managed to get the power back on and the dinner proceeded without a hitch.
