The National Road Heritage Corridor will hold its ninth annual Frontier Dinner at 6 p.m. Sept. 5 at the Christian Klay Winery in Chalk Hill.

Chef Joe Carei will prepare a five-course meal from products and ingredients that can be purchased locally, and there will be wine, a pre-dinner hayride around the vineyards, music by Adam Sutch and the Sutch Sounds and a bonfire.

“The meal this year has an even stronger farm-to-table focus,”, Careo said. “It will be a celebration of the economic backbone of Pennsylvania: agriculture. From the fruit and vegetables, to the cheese and breads, entrees to dessert, everything served that evening will be PA grown or raised.”

In addition, there will be chair massages, and the 1st Virginia Regiment will display period muskets, pistols, tomahawks, swords and knives. Willy Frankfort, one of five master horners in the world, will have a large display of his horn and scrimshaw work. The Bloody Dirk 18th Century Tavern will be open and serving samples of period drinks.

All proceeds will be reinvested into the region by the NRHC.

All tickets must be purchased in advance, and reserved seating is available. To purchase tickets, call 724-437-9877, or email debbies@nationalroadpa.org.
