King Corn draws a crowd

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Wow. Thank you to all of those who made last night one of the most exciting Monday nights the Traverse City State Theatre has seen- in March no-less. We had a strong turn out of over 450 view King Corn, which, according to co-producer and c0-star Ian Cheney might just be the most who have seen the film at one time since its release. Ian was in attendance and led an intriguing conversation about food and food culture after the film.corn-1.jpg If you missed it, try to catch IPR’s Bob Allen’s piece this afternoon or online after today for a little taste.

We started off the night with a grand potluck across the street at the Serenity Tea Bar and Café. Over 150 came to participate in the Locavore Hors d’Oeuvres Challenge, watch the premier of Talkin’ Bout Making Culture, and check out Traverse City’s new downtown hangout.

The Great Lakes Bioneers says thank you to our co-sponsor Oryana, our reception host Serenity Tea Bar and Café and Edible Grande Traverse & Michigan Land Use Institute for additional contribution.

Hope to see you soon!
