An intimate Jeffersonian dinner at Fry: four courses, curated pairings, and one conversation that just might change how you see your story.About this Event
Eat. Talk. Connect. Transform.
Some evenings are just dinner. This one is an invitation.
You, Interrupted: An Evening of Collateral Beauty gathers a small group of guests around one table at Fry in downtown Bentonville for a Jeffersonian dinner, where the whole table shares a single guided conversation instead of scattered small talk.
The evening is built around the true WWII story of Lt. Fred Gonzales, a life interrupted by circumstances he never chose. His story opens a question we’ll explore together: what beauty can come from the moments that break our plans?
Food creates the invitation. Conversation creates the connection. And what we discover together has a way of following us home.
The evening includes:
A four-course dinner, with each course paired with a drink: two wine pairings and two handcrafted mocktails. Non-alcoholic wine is available for any guest who prefers it.
Seating is intentionally limited to keep the conversation personal. When your seats are gone, the table is full.
Hosted by Significance Project, a 501(c)(3) cultivating a community of hope through arts, business, and education.
