Fall suppers — or fowl suppers — bring out the best in local cooks who contribute to groaning tables in community halls throughout the province. Gathering at harvest time to feast on cabbage rolls, hand-made perogies, meat balls and fresh apple and pumpkin pie is one tradition that never gets old. Many small towns experience a temporary population boom as visitors arrive by the busload to share the bounty. On the third Sunday in October, 1,000 or so lucky diners head to St. Claude for the Haywood Fowl Supper, which may feature classic French favourites tourtière and beignes croches along with roast beef, ham, turkey and loads of trimmings. There's more French fare at the Ste. Agathe Fall Supper, along with turkey, ham and pies of every description, on Oct. 5 at the Cultural & Community Centre. You could attend a fall supper almost every weekend in the Interlake, including seatings in Warren (Sept. 14), Argyle (Sept. 21) and Stonewall (Oct. 12). And some communities combine dinner and dancing. Shake a leg at the Inwood Fall Supper & Dance Sept. 27 and the Fall Supper & Dance at Fraserwood Hall Oct. 18. ImmersIVe Culture 20
