An added feature to your typical stay at Bon Echo this Thanksgiving Weekend involves a pot-luck Thanksgiving Feast on the Saturday night, hosted by Bryan Thompson. Here’s how it works:
Bryan will roast a stuffed Turkey and ham over the fire, with accompanying gravies and cranberry sauce. A vegan option is also provided. The cost for this is $15 per person (on top of the normal Bon Echo fees).
In addition, everyone brings a side-dish, salad or dessert to round out the meal – enough to feed 10 people. All participants enjoy the dinner family style together.
