BELLOWS FALLS-Who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner now and again? That’s what’s on the menu Saturday, April 4, at the Bellows Falls Moose Lodge #527.
The first Diner Dinner of 2026 features bacon, sausage, ’taters, eggs — all sorts of breakfast classics served up hot and hearty; affordably priced, and with a heaping helping of the latest news about the Miss Bellows Falls Diner restoration project.
Diner Dinners, started in 2025 under the supervision of the late Susan MacNeil, are the means by which the volunteer team at Rockingham for Progress (RFP) can share reports on the Miss Bellows Falls Diner restoration project, including plans, timelines, challenges, and triumphs
“It can be baffling why the diner appears to be just sitting there,” Robert McBride, one of the directors of RFP, said in a news release. “Diner Dinners are a great way to keep folks up to date with what’s been happening behind the scenes.”
Each Diner Dinner features classic comfort food prepared by Moose chef Aime Theroux. On Aug. 15, ribs will be offered, and that diner classic, meatloaf, will be in the spotlight on Nov. 7.
“Aime and the Moose have been absolutely wonderful to work with,” said McBride. “The food has been great, and the members of the lodge itself have made us feel so welcome.”
The National Park Service, which oversees alterations to buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, has approved the architectural plans submitted last fall for the Miss Bellows Falls restoration. Now RFP and their partners at the Preservation Trust of Vermont need only wait for the Vermont State Historic Preservation Office to give their stamp of approval.
As well as restoration of the historic car itself, plans include a new foundation, kitchen area, and required ADA-compliant accessibility, facilities, and ramp.
Doors open at 5 p.m., and the program begins with the informational update at 5:15 pm. Dinner will be served buffet style starting at 6 p.m. Choose individual tickets or a table of six for family and friends, or purchase tickets for the entire series.
The Lodge is at 59 Westminster St. in Bellows Falls; the building is handicapped accessible. Tickets are available on the Miss Bellows Falls Diner website at missbellowsfalls.com. A limited number of seats will be available at the door.
