The event will begin with the grand opening of the Clovelly House, which will feature 100 art pieces from local art students. The popular downtown Wine Walk will be re-vamped especially for the village that evening and will feature free wine, cheese and fruit for attendees. Guests will be able to meander through the village’s four houses and take in the sights of all the unique art work by dozens of local artists. “It’s going to be a fun night. We will honor May- or Hensley, who has been a huge supporter of High- lands Art League for many years. We will be having a sit-down dinner featuring food from Chef Mac. The night will be just fun with food, music and a few surprises for the mayor,” Wohl said. A silent auction and live music will also take place at the Roast and Toast along with guest speakers, who will share stories about Hensley. HAL Board President Don Elwell is one of many people looking forward to all the Roast and Toast as well as all of HAL’s new events, exhibits and at- tractions. “I’ve been on the board for a very long time and this is the first time the village has been this way. The village has never been this far along. We could not be more excited about this and and how everything over there is coming along,” Elwell said. Tickets to the Roast C M Y K

That’s one way of preparing zucchini, but there are countless others and the one I have for you is different, healthy, fun to prepare and it will impress your dinner guests. It’s kind of a twist on coleslaw and has bright colors and nice texture. Zucchini apple slaw would be a great side dish at your next barbecue or any other gathering where there is going to be food. I would also make the tra- ditional coleslaw and potato salad and put your zucchini slaw in the middle. You might be sur- prised and how many of your guests will like it after taking a bite. You could also use it as a topping of something like a pulled pork sand- wich or a veggie burger. If you don’t have the caraway seed, I suggest picking some up at the market. It is a key flavor it this slaw and paired with the apple, it is wonderful. Cheers, Chef. Zucchini apple slaw Yields 16 four oz. portions ■ 3 oz. Vinegar, Cider ■ 2 tbs.
