From the food notes in my local paper, :

Spiga Trattoria, 162 Mayfield Ave, Cranston, RI, will hold it's first
Sagra Dinner, The Beet goes on for Fall, Wednesday, 22 Oct at 6pm.
Cost is $30. Dinner includes house-made agnolotti filled with beets
and ricotta cheese, and chocolate beet cake.

The owner of the Spiga and several other themed Italian restaurants in
RI is Walter Potenza, a local celebrity chef.

Worth the trip, kiddos!
;-)

Yeah!

I wonder about their use of the word "Sagra". Is there really a beet
festival that day in Cranston, RI - that'd be great! - or is it their
own private little beet celebration, which they perhaps hope to expand?
I'd guess it is the latter.

Maxine, you are lucky that Barbara is away on a trip to Amish Indiana or
some kind of weird trip like that. By the time she gets back, your post
may have disappeared. Otherwise.....

From the rest of the local news, they are the only ones having a Beet
festival. I will have to check and see if they will have some poetry
with their beets....
