The Staples-Motley early childhood coalition is having a chef’s challenge and fundraiser Saturday at the Landmark Inn in Staples.
"Savor the Moment" will provide, for those who attend, a chance to enjoy gourmet food samples and cooking demonstrations from some of the area’s restaurants and caterers, including Harvest Thyme Bistro, The Shante, Staples Bakery and Convenience Store and Ernie's Liquor.
The participating chefs will be competing in an appetizer/entrée or dessert category.
Spokeswoman Sara Dregney says all proceeds benefit the SMECC to support local early childhood programs.
“We do our own programming,” Dregney said. “We promote literacy and school readiness skills in the Staples-Motley area.”
The event runs from 6:30 until 9:00 Saturday night.
Tickets are $25 per person in advance and $30 at the door. To purchase tickets or for more information, go to smearlychildhood.org or call 218-894-1897.
