Community Plate and Discover Downtown Westbrook invite you to join us for an evening of connection through the sharing of food, stories, and recipes. Our theme for the evening is “On Common Ground.” When you scratch the surface, we all have something in common–whether it’s our love for our families, an interest or hobby, or a favorite ingredient or dish. There is always something we can agree on! Join us on Westbrook Common for an outdoor potluck as we celebrate the joys of finding common ground.

A Story Sharing Potluck Supper is an opportunity to engage with new and old friends and to make connections around something we all have in common: the food we eat and our family food stories. Bring a dish (with a story!) to share, an open mind and an open heart. During the dinner we’ll be sharing stories around the table, and after dessert, you’ll be treated to a collection of live storytelling performances from practiced storytellers — some may even be your neighbors! Bring your recipe to the event, and afterwards we’ll be compiling the evening's recipes and stories into a mini community cookbook that all attendees will receive to commemorate our evening together and the community we created.
