With Take-Out or Eat-in Options, Bedford’s METCO Soul Food Dinner was a Rousing Success

Compiled by The Bedford Citizen

Held this year in early February, the 2018 METCO soul food dinner gave scores of Bedford families either dinner in the company of friends, or extraordinary take-out – Chicken (fried, barbecued, or stewed) with a selection of sides from collards to mac and cheese, followed by sweet potato pie or a red velvet cupcake. While some families hurried home to watch the Olympics, others walked over to the High School to watch the girls basketball team celebrate Senior Night.

FACES IN THE CROWD

THANKS TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS

IT WAS A TERRIFIC NIGHT

AND THE FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING!
