Where Culinary Art Meets The Imagination…
What separates 1st To Roll Catering from other catering companies, is not only their delicious and healthy cuisine, but that they are a boutique production catering company that is family owned and operated. That means you get treated like family, not like a customer! They take great pride in their company, from preparation to presentation. On top of that, the chefs are extremely accommodating and very respectful to the entire crew. The cuisine is always farmer’s market driven; only using the highest quality, fresh, and local ingredients. You will NOT be disappointed!

Sat., April 27th at 11am
If you or anyone you know has a young storyteller, join The MEG School for Creative Arts track outreach event! Based on a screenplay analysis and writing course Read It/Watch It/Write it, the staff will guide students through the process of understanding storytelling. They start by breaking well-known stories down to their most essential elements and imagining how to “pitch” them. Then the students take their own ideas, find their essence, and create a short “elevator pitch” and a “first meeting” pitch for their stories. Who knows? This may be the genesis of the next “Avengers” franchise*. *If it is, the MEG School gets a Producer credit.
