Saturday, Nov. 17, 5 p.m.—RUPERT—It’s November and that means it is game supper time here in Vermont. The folks of the Rupert Volunteer Fire Department will be setting out the china plates and slicing dozens of donated pies on Saturday, Nov. 17.
Serving at the Rupert Community Building & Firehouse, VT-315, begins at 5 p.m. Doors open early, at 3 p.m., for ticket sales on the day of the supper.
Tickets are $12 adults, $10 children, and $6 for age 10 and under $6. Takeout is available for $1 extra per ticket price.
Annual hostess Kelli Lewis extends this invitation: “On behalf of the Rupert Volunteer Fire Department, I hope you’ll be joining us for our 2018 Game Supper. We’ll prepare bear, venison and perhaps some wild turkey. And we’re excited that we received a special donation of wild pig! If we get a donation of moose, well, then we’ll have moose, too!”
This year’s Rupert game supper menu is expected to include the following, but not limited to, venison stroganoff, bear meatloaf, venison quesadillas, bear sauerbraten, game bird jambalaya, and wild pig, plus any other game that comes along. The meal will be rounded out with real mashed potatoes, Rupert Rising bread, beverages and dessert (pie choices often include lemon meringue, chocolate, apple, pumpkin and blueberry).
The Rupert Volunteer Fire Dept. will have a gun raffle. Additionally, Mettawee Community School 6th graders will be on hand to wait on tables for tips and to sell 50/50 raffle tickets to benefit their spring trip to Boston. The local 4-H Club will hold a silent auction.
