Photos from King Corn Screening

Our thanks to Slow Food member, Dan Morgan for his hospitality in hosting last Friday's screening of King Corn at his beautiful studio in the Tower Press Building.

Ben Bebenroth of Spice of Life Caterers prepared some of the best movie snacks - ever! An assortment of cheeses, sandwiches, spreads, and of course, popcorn - two kinds! Thank you, Ben. The pies, Confetti, Pecan and Cherry, from Humble Pie were outstanding. And icy cold refreshments from Great Lakes Brewing Company and others were enjoyed by all.

Thanks again to all who attended and participated. Dan has posted some photos of the event on his website.
