Thank-Full Moon Feast

NOV 24 2026 4:30 PM

McFarland Park , Story County


Event Summary

Join us beneath the light of November’s full moon for a fireside evening of outdoor cooking, good food, and gratitude! Together, we’ll prepare a warm and hearty meal featuring savory soup/ chili, fresh bread, and a sweet dessert while exploring a variety of outdoor cooking tools and techniques. This beginner-friendly program is designed for adults and offers a fun introduction to cooking over a fire. Since we’ll be outdoors in late November, please dress for the weather and bring a warm blanket or cozy layer to stay comfortable throughout the evening. Participants should bring: a plate, bowl, eating utensils, water bottle or cup, lawn chair, and a mug if you’d like hot chocolate.

Register by midnight on November 17th to reserve your spot!
