Come hungry — the evening's menu looks tantalizing, with mini beef short rib sandwiches, pulled Perth County pork, smoked salmon, potato latkes and vanilla crème brulèe and more. The dishes will be created and served by the chefs and students from Fanshawe's Tourism and Hospitality department. Eventgoers will be entertained with the sweet sounds of Chasing Down, a Fanshawe band.
In addition to the delicious menu, free popcorn and cotton candy will be available. There's fun for kids too, with face painting and a few fun surprises.
