sybaris and the truffle zone present A benefit for East Thornton Lake Natural Area sunday, april 10th, 2011 six o' clock pm A tribute to the Kalapuya that lived on the East Thornton Lake Natural Area. The Kalapuya lived throughout the Albany area and we are hoping to showcase their traditional foods in a modern menu.
