Due to a forecast of heavy rain this weekend, the "Community Alive," dining experience has been postponed to Oct. 3.

Fisher Farms is hosting a farm to table dinner at the Bed and Bike Inn in Gold Hill. The community event is a fundraiser for Slow Food Charlotte and Friendship Trays.

Slow Food Charlotte promotes local, sustainable farming and the culture of food that connects communities.

Friendship Trays delivers hundreds of meals daily to elderly and handicapped people who are restricted in their ability to prepare or acquire meals. Twenty-five tickets remain at $75 per person and include the meal, drinks and entertainment.

The music will start at 6 p.m. with the guitar ensemble from Pfeiffer University followed by some of their wind players. Bluegrass players will also perform.

There will be a silent auction from 6 until 8:30 featuring services from dog walking to interior design to sessions and menu planning with a personal nutritionist to massage.

Proceeds from the event will support awareness for the local food economy with monies benefiting the Slow Food Charlotte chapter and Friendship Trays.
