Museum Moments on Thursday, May 21, will feature John Stokes, chef from Oxford , who is also will cook the Farm to Table dinner on Friday night at the music festival kick off Farm to Table dinner.

Stokes, an Oxford native, has spent the last twenty years cooking professionally in a variety of settings. He calls his style “old world cooking” with respect for quality ingredients, as well as the new southern style with its charm. He believes that the best way to get to know someone is to break bread with them.

He will talk about the larger Farm to Table movement and the importance of locally sourced food. Museum Moments will begin at noon on Thursday at the museum at 114 Cleveland Street in New Albany. It is open to the public. Friends of the Library will host a light lunch beginning at 11:30. For more information call the museum at 662-538-0014.
