WHAT:
The Naperville Heritage Society invites the media to join guests and Masters of Ceremony, Orion Samuelson and Max Armstrong from WGN Radio’s “The Morning Show with Orion and Max”, to the Barn Raising Benefit on Saturday, November 5 at 6pm. This special evening is in support of Naper Settlement’s Agricultural Interpretative Center, which aims to preserve our region’s rich agricultural history and focus on farming innovation that will demonstrate the roles of analytical thinking and other intellectual processes that will work under the banner of STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — education. Guests will receive a preview of the center’s exhibitions, artifacts and programming that will showcase stories of real-life farming families of the past and teach the business and science of modern-day farming to Naper Settlement’s 140,400 annual visitors. Guests will enjoy a beautiful, locally sourced farm-to-table dinner by green restaurant and caterer Big Delicious Planet.
