For the first time in its history, the Bhubaneswar Club organised an organic fair in its premises here Sunday. Several stalls were put up by various organic farmers. A wide range of organic products like fruits, vegetables, poultry, bakery, dairy, honey, ghee and flowers were on display.
A good number of club members along with their family and friends visited the market which was named as “A Gentleman’s Farmer’s Market”. Many of them bought the organic products at discounted prices. The market remained open for the visitors from 11 am to 4 pm.
Beverages and cheese were also served as complimentary at the club.
Delicious mouthwatering foods were also made available for the guests.
This innovative event was conceptualised by club president Asit Tripathy. After taking over the charge as president in September, he is making novel moves to popularise the one of the oldest clubs of Odisha.
The Bhubaneswar Club was founded in 1949. In 1950, the King of Khallikote became its first president. Up to 1964, the heads of different royal families of the State became its president. In 1964, former Chief Minister Biju Patnaik was the president.
