ROSWELL, GA -- As part of the Second Annual Roswell Azalea Festival, a Harvest Dinner will be hosted later this month by the Roswell Farmers and Artisans Market.

The event will take place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 30 at Smith Plantation at 935 Alpharetta Street.

Local chefs will present a potluck-style dinner, which will include live music and a silent auction. Tickets are $70 in advance and $75 at the door.

Of the price, $40 goes to The Giving Kitchen, a charity that provides crisis grants to metro Atlanta restaurant workers who are facing unanticipated hardships that may keep them from working. Those emergencies include illness, injury, natural disaster or death of a family member.

Tickets may be purchased at the Roswell Visitors Center at 617 Atlanta Street using a VISA or MasterCard only. They may also be purchased over Paypal from the Roswell Visitors Center's website by clicking the banner at the top of the homepage or at the Azalea Festival's website.

Receipts will be the entrance ticket from either Paypal or the Visitors Center, so participants will need to keep their receipts to show at the door.

The Visitors Center is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 3 p.m. Sundays. Parking for the dinner will be at Roswell City Hall, 38 Hill Street. For additional information, visit www.roswellfam.com.

The Roswell Azalea Festival is a month-long event that pays tribute to the beauty of Roswell during the springtime and to the abundant azaleas, which are a heat and drought tolerant plant native to Georgia.
