Grow, Cook, Taste, and Live!: A Celebration of Local Food

The Slow Food Symposium is scheduled for Saturday, October 1,
2005 at the beautiful O. Henry Hotel and Green Valley Grill, located at
624 Green Valley Road in Greensboro, North Carolina.

This festival will feature workshops for all people who love food,
thought-provoking speakers, and discussion with friends of Slow Food.
Whether you love to garden, cook, or simply enjoy great-tasting food
and wine, there are workshops at the Symposium for your particular
interests. Included is a delectable three-course "Slow" lunch
featuring local foods and wines, where you'll meet and mingle with
regional growers, food artisans, and other folks who share your passion
for food produced deliciously, locally, and sustainably.
