• Wild Game Supper

For the 63rd edition of its annual wild-game throwdown, Bradford's United Church of Christ invites visitors from near and far to sit elbow to elbow in the church mess for a forest-foraged feast. On the buffet line, local volunteers dole out portions of venison steak, bear-meat chili, pheasant with rice, rabbit pot pie, pulled wild boar and roast beaver, among other delicacies. Locally grown squash, Parker House rolls and pitchers of apple cider round out the meal, and gingerbread cake makes for a sweet finish.

Wild Game Supper: Saturday, November 17, hourly seatings, 2-6 p.m., Bradford United Church of Christ. $20-30, reservations required. Info, 222-9920, bradforducc.org.
