“One
potato, two potato, three potato and MORE tater dishes than ever,” declares Kim
Spirou, Director of Development and Community Outreach. There will be mashed,
french fried, baked and pureed potatoes being integrated as the signature
element of this popular fundraising lunch time event to support cancer patients
in our region. In Honour of the Ones We Love has brought back, by very popular
demand, the Potato Fest event which will take place on Thursday, December 4th from 11 a.m. to 2 pm at the
St. Clair Centre for the Arts on Riverside Drive.
This
ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT spud-tacular costs only $10.00 per person and features a wide
array of delicious potato dishes including potato martinis, baked potato bar,
fresh cut fries, salad bar with cold potato salad with all the toppings and
fixing you can imagine plus rolls, butter and beverages.
AM800
will be broadcasting live from this event. As well this year’s Potato Fest will
feature media personalities and civic leaders who will help serve patrons and
add an element of celebrity to the event. Raffle tickets for the Fiat Coupe
500, autographed by famed actor Al Pacino, will also be available for sale. Tickets
are only $20 and the draw for this exciting vehicle takes place at our Gala on
February 7th!
Proceeds
from the Potato Fest event will benefit Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare. In Honour
of the Ones We Love aims to make the Windsor-Essex community self-sufficient so
that cancer patients and their families do not have to leave the city to
receive treatment and support. Fundraising efforts would not be possible
without the support of volunteers, sponsors and those who attend events like
this one. Come join the fun and bring your family and friends to support this
wonderful cause!
Sponsors
include the St. Clair Centre for the Arts, AM800, TVCogeco, Motor City
Community Credit Union, and Windsor Disposal Service. For ticket information
