The Rocks Annual Maple Dinner

The Rocks will once again celebrate the transition from a long winter to welcome spring with its annual Maple Dinner on April 6 at 6:00 p.m. This year’s dinner will be held at The Maplewood in Bethlehem following the loss to fire of the program center at The Rocks. Proceeds from the dinner will benefit The Rocks Fire Fund. The funds will be used for operating and capital costs in support of the post-fire transition to restore operations at The Rocks.

Returning to wow diners is Chef Joe Peterson of Sugar Hill. Highlights of the evening’s buffet dinner include a ginger butternut squash bisque, a grilled vegetable salad, macaroni and cheese with baby spinach and fire-roasted tomato, wood-roasted barbecue chicken. Dinner will also include Bali barbecue ribs and wood-roasted beef brisket. Dennis Cote of Sugar Hill will provide musical entertainment during the evening.

The cost of the dinner is $50 per person with a cash bar. Pre-registration is required, and reservations may be made online or by calling Maria Stewart at 603.224.9945 x 346. The registration deadline is 4:00 pm on March 28th.

“We introduced the Maple Dinner in 2011, and it’s been a hit each year since,” said Nigel Manley longtime Director of The Rocks. “The food is always incredible; the company is great, and it’s just a nice way to welcome spring.”
