Harvest Dance supports Ag Against Hunger and Farm Bureau programs

 On Saturday, October 10 beginning at 6:30 p.m., the Central Coast Young Farmers and Ranchers (CCYF&R) will host their fifth annual Harvest Dance, benefiting Ag Against Hunger and Farm Bureau Programs.

The casual, outdoor dinner-dance will feature a hayride, delectable YF&R tri-tip barbeque dinner with all the fixins, a full bar featuring local wines and dancing to the sweet sounds of local favorite, the Shan Johnson Band.

Sponsorships and volunteer opportunities are available.

The Harvest Dance is a celebration of the end of the traditional vegetable growing season and beginning of the wine grape harvest. It is quickly becoming the Central Coast’s “must attend” fall season celebration is the “hoedown of the year.”
