HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Tickets are still available to Saturday's Taste of Hutchinson: The Men Cook event to benefit Salthawk Community Support. The event is back Jan. 18. The event is at the Hutchinson Art Center from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
"We have 22 chefs who are coming and preparing samples of food for our guests," said Claire Foy with Salthawk Community Support. "With that sample of food or with a ticket of $45, there's our two drink tickets and dessert. Even though 22 chefs and samples doesn't seem like a lot of food, it's a lot of food, and people are full, and it's very social, having a lot of fun."
The mission of Salthawk Community Support is to work together to remove barriers to education for students in USD 308.
"We staff the closet," Foy said. "The closet is a room in B Hall at Hutchinson High School, and it's also, I can't remember what floor it is, at HMS 8, and we staff both rooms. Those rooms have clothing, socks, shoes, hygiene items. In some cases, we help provide transportation, lunch money if it's really needed. We provide supportive listening for the students and tutors. Tutors are provided after school."
There are several locations where you can get tickets.
"We have them available at Trinity United Methodist Church. They are also available at Apron Strings, the Wool Market, or through a board member," Foy said."Of course that's difficult to know who the board members are."
