If you are going to the Rye Historical Society's celebration of 350 years in Rye -- it's tonight -- we hope you'll at least pause by Paula's offering in the silent auction: a fully-catered meal at the Square House for you and your friends and family. And if you pause, you might as well bid! Paula is inviting guest chefs to make the meal and dessert. It will be served in the dining room of the 1730 landmark tavern (how special is that?).
The dinner will take place in autumn, when the fireplace is put to good use.
