Most of us eat day in day out without giving a second thought to consider the wealth of history and culture that shapes our dining habits and taste preferences. Our recipes, menus, ceremonies, and etiquette are directly shaped by our country's rich immigrant experience, the history and innovations of food preparation technology, and the ever-changing availability of key ingredients.Curated by Charley Camp, Key Ingredients: America by Food explores the connections between Americans and the foods they produce, prepare, preserve, and present at table - a provocative and thoughtful look at the historical, regional and social traditions that merge in everyday meals and celebrations.

Help plant 1,000 trees and shrubs along the Red River in celebration of Arbor Day!
Why: Development and cultural practices have prevented natural regeneration of trees along the banks of the river. Planting trees in key areas along the Red will create a buffer to maintain river bank stability, encourage the growth of native plants, improve water quality (F-M's drinking water source!), and provide habitat for river wildlife.
Who: You, your family, friends, and/or associates. For safety reasons we ask that one adult be present for every five children.
How: Short trainings will be held at various times throughout. Volunteers will dig holes, plant, mulch, and water.
What to wear: Long pants, closed toed flat shoes, and gloves that can get muddy. Dress for the weather. We've planted in snow, rain and heat!
What to bring: If you have shovel, write your name on the handle.
Food and water: Snacks and Pepsi products will be provided while supplies last.
